Grow Your Family Through Adoption
Choosing adoption is a big and loving decision. Many families choose adoption to grow their family and give a child a loving family and safe future. Whether you want to adopt a newborn or choose an older child or sibling group, learning the process can help you feel prepared.
Check your eligibility
To adopt a child, first you must meet certain requirements. These rules may change based on the type of adoption you choose.
The eligibility requirements include:
- Your age should be 23 years or older
- Be financially stable
- In good physical and mental health
- Qualify the background checks
Step-To-Step Adoption Guide
Attend Our Orientation
BAF conducts free orientation sessions for families considering adoption. These sessions explore what adoption involves, the process, and how it works. You can ask questions openly and get honest information about your decision to adopt.
Adoption Home Study
Home study is one of the most important parts of the adoption process. During this process, our professionals will review your home and family. It helps us assess if you are ready to provide a safe and loving home to a child.
The process includes:
- Background verification
- Interview with a dedicated adoption worker
- Documenting your health and financial records
Choose An Adoption Type
Select the type of adoption you want:
- Domestic Adoption (Newborn Adoption)
- International adoption
- Foster adoption
Our Adoption Team will always be there to guide and help you decide what feels right.
Prepare Adoption Profile
Once the home study is complete, our team will help you build an “adoptive family profile”. This will allow the birth mothers to know you better, your life, story, and the life you hope to offer their child.
Match with Birth Mother
Next, we will connect you with a birth mother who matches your preferences and requirements for the child you want to adopt.
The matching may take some time, and our team will walk alongside as you step closer to your goal.
Placement and Post-Adoption Support
Your journey does not end with us after finalization. We continue to offer adoption support whenever required. Our Adoption Team will always be honored to answer your questions and assist you.
