Adoption plans
An adoption plan says who will raise the child and how the families will communicate. You create the plan that is right for you.
The birth family and the adoptive family know one another and agree on contact. That might be photos, messages, calls, or visits. You decide the pace together and write it down. Full names and addresses are shared only if both sides agree.
Letters, email, and sometimes a visit pass through the agency. The families may know first names and still keep phone numbers and street addresses private. This can offer news of the child without a direct relationship.
No identifying information is exchanged. Some birth parents choose this for safety, including when a relationship has been violent. Others choose it because they want a clean break. Closed plans are less common, and they are still done when they are the safer choice.
A written plan should say how often you expect contact and what to do if someone needs to change it. A child’s needs change as they grow. Changing a contact plan is a conversation between the families.
Adoptive families should only agree to contact they can keep. Birth parents should not be promised visits that no one intends to offer.
Birth parents are not charged for counseling. Hopeful adoptive families can ask questions or submit a full application when they’re ready. Contacting us is not a commitment.
Every child deserves a loving, permanent family.
