What should one look for when choosing an agency to help with adoption?
When a prospective adoptive family is pursuing an adoption, they will likely struggle with feeling vulnerable. Prospective adoptive parents would benefit from choosing an agency they trust and feel comfortable with. Adoptive prospects should understand and agree with the agency adoption policies and procedures. Before committing to an agency, they should ask questions about the fees and payment procedure, the agency’s philosophy on adoption and care for birth parents, and availability of agency staff support through the years if open adoption is considered. It is also always good to talk to other families that have adopted through the agency.
