How are Adoptees Raised?
Adoptees are raised by loving families from our Arizona agency that are ready to raise your child as their own. Adopting a child in Arizona is for the truly dedicated, and our families are that and more. These families are screened for financial stability, background, and abuse signs. The houses undergo intense home studies and are fully prepared to provide for the adoptee. While birth moms are placing baby for adoption, they still play a part in raising their child.
As the center is a private adoption agency, birth parents get to decide which family to place the adoptee with. There are families from various religious beliefs, backgrounds, sizes, and values. Birth parents choose which adoptive family will parent the adoptee and teach them these shared values. Our counselors will walk you through these choices and allow you to choose. Though birth parents can pick a family, each loving family can provide quality care for any adoptee.
Birth parents can also play a role in their child’s life if they wish. If they choose an open adoption, they can directly contact the adoptive family. They can schedule meetings, deliver cards and gifts, and send pictures directly to the adoptive family. If birth parents do not wish to maintain a relationship with the adoptive family, semi-open adoptions are available. These adoptions allow birth parents to communicate strictly with the adoptee through the agency. Closed adoptions with no communication are also available. Birth parents have many choices when it comes to how their children will be raised.
Do Adoptees Need to be Newborns?
No! Adoptees do not need to be newborns. It is possible to adopt after birth! Adoption Choices of Arizona specializes in both infant and newborn private adoption. Our Arizona adoption agency provides for and supports birth mothers and adoptees from all different situations. We understand that birth mothers may not want or be ready for a baby.
Birth mothers may struggle with unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. Birth mothers may find themselves overwhelmed after birth. Whatever the case, Adoption Choices of Arizona understands. Our adoption agencies in Arizona do not judge and are ready to help you. If you are considering adoption in Arizona, contact our Washoe county adoption agency as soon as possible.
Am I Abandoning the Adoptee by Choosing Adoption?
It is important to note that an adoption is an act of love. In many cases, even through its difficulties, the adoption process benefits everyone involved. This includes the adoptee. These children receive families that will treasure them and provide safe and financially-sound environments. By courageously choosing adoption, birth mothers are giving adoptees a chance to thrive in a caring environment. Adoption is not abandonment. Depending on the type of adoption in your adoption plan, it’s not always the end of your parent-child relationship either.
