How does AAI decide which profiles are shown to birth mother clients?
When a birth mother is ready to review profiles, the caseworker will talk with her to find out if there are specific characteristics that she is looking for in an adoptive family. We do not give her a checklist or suggest what she should consider, but leave this totally up to her. We take the characteristics that the birth mother lists and then request profiles from our corporate office that match her wishes. When determining the profiles that are shown to the birth mother, we also take into account information about the baby she is carrying, such as the child’s race and whether or not he or she has been exposed to any substances during the pregnancy. The profiles we show to the birth mother are of families that are accepting of the child and the birth mother’s situation, in addition to reflecting the characteristics that the birth mother has requested. If the birth mother does not have many specific requests about the adoptive family, and the number of qualified families is too large
