At Family To Family Adoptions, we realize that a mother’s decision to place her child for adoption is purely out of love and compassion. We know how important it is to you to make sure that your child has everything he or she needs and see to it that they will grow up in a loving home where all of their needs will be met. Here at Family To Family Adoptions, it is our goal to help you find the perfect family for your child as well as assist you personally through this difficult and emotional journey. We want you to know that there are options for your unplanned pregnancy.
We begin the adoption process for you and your baby by making sure that both of your medical, physical, and emotional needs are being met. We will help set you up with Medicaid to ensure that you and your baby are getting the proper health care you both need. In addition, we will be there with you throughout the entire process to support you emotionally. We want to ensure that you have the best adoption experience possible. If you require assistance, we will assist you with your maternity related needs, such as housing, maternity clothes, groceries, etc.
At Family To Family, we want our birth mothers to know that we think they are the most amazing and courageous individuals for making the choice to provide their child with a better life through adoption.
Adoption is a beautiful gift of life for your child and at the same time an unselfish act of love as birth mothers place their child with a family that so desperately wants a child of their own.

- Maternity Related Expenses
- Ongoing and Post-Placement Counseling (life-long)

We know how important it is for you to make sure that your child is going to a good family. That is why we always ask for your preference and inputs about your desired adoptive family. Then, we will give you profile books of our adoptive families who meet your criteria. Once you have chosen an adoptive family, you can meet them and get to know them personally in order to make sure that they are the right family for your baby. If you choose to match with your desired adoptive family, then they will be with you as part of your support system throughout the process. Additionally, you and your chosen adoptive family will need to have an agreement on how much future contact you will receive after the baby’s birth and placement with the family.
You can choose to allow your adoptive family to be present during your child’s birth if you would like. Once you sign over your parental rights 48 hours after your child’s birth, then your part of the adoption process is complete. Family To Family will provide counseling sessions for you for additional assistance during this difficult process. As a small personal agency, we hope that you will continue to keep in touch with us long after your baby’s adoption is complete.
In addition to our adoption services, Family To Family Adoptions also offers educational assistance to qualifying birth parents. It is our honor and goal to make this experience as easy for you as we possibly can. We understand that your sacrifice is a hard one, and we promise to guide and support you as much as we can throughout your adoption experience with us.
