What if we are working with a pregnant woman and the baby is born with medical problems?
We discuss this possibility ahead of time with everyone involved in the adoption planning. We explain that there is no obligation on the part of the adopting family to adopt a baby unless they are 100% committed to parenting the child. Any money spent towards a particular adoption is NOT refundable. However, your agency fee is good until you have a baby in your home. FIA continues to work with you until this happens. If the adopting family decides against the placement, FIA would continue to work with the birth family to find an appropriate adoptive family for the baby.
