Hello, and thanks for stopping by. We hope you will find the following information helpful in your "challenge" of adoption. The unfortunate thing about this page is that it is such a "challenge". Not only in locating a child to adopt, but also in locating a birthparent for those adoptive children who are now adults. We hope that this page will help in both instances.
1. Network - make connections with people everywhere and let it be known that you are wanting to adopt a child.
2. Read magazines geared to adoption. They usually have success stories of adoptions as well as places to adopt.
3. Do NOT pay out money to people that you do not know, or that you cannot check their background...no matter how tempting!
4. Check references, whether it be an agency or an adoption attorney. It is like finding a good doctor.
5. Never ever give up! Have faith, believe it! and it will happen!!!!!
1. Gather as much information from your adoptive families as you can get.
2. Register in all adoption registries (state, private, national), and check to see if there is anyone that matches what you have been looking for as well.
3. Talk with others that have located birth parents. Learn from their experiences.
4. Check references of any private investigators that you might hire. (Although if you read a good HOW-TO book you won't need an investigator.)
5. Never ever give up! Have faith, believe it! and it will happen!!!!!
