How can birthparents be sure that the baby will have a good home?
At the Adoption Center of San Diego, the birthparent chooses the couple for their child. Additionally, California law requires all adoptive couples to complete a home study, before an adoption is finalized. All agency and independent adoptions require prospective parents to provide complete histories. They are fingerprinted to make sure they don’t have criminal backgrounds. Social service workers visit the home to make sure everything is safe. The birthmother chooses the new parents for her child after she meets them, and is satisfied that they will provide a good home. She can choose a family that shares her faith and values and meets her ideals, and even matches her interests/hobbies.
