They had already adopted one child and felt they didn't have time to do their own networking or prepare their own ads the second time around. We got a call within two weeks after the ad ran. She was sent a stack of letters and brochures from prospective parents and selected Fred and Susan. The chemistry was there when we first talked, just like it was with my son's birth mother. Adoption Connection's advertising pool includes an ad that runs four times a year in national publications such as US , Rolling Stone , and New Woman , as well as in regional papers.
Clients can choose to participate in the advertising program for an additional fee.
Each time Adoption Connection receives a call from the ad, we send letters and brochures from participating couples and individuals. It's very cost-effective for families trying to adopt. It costs as much for prospective parents to place one ad on their own as it does to participate in the ad pool, which reaches four to six publications over three months. Answering an ad placed by an organization like Adoption Connection is also an attractive option to some birth mothers, who feel more comfortable dealing with an intermediary than calling an adopting couple directly, which can be intimidating. Hospital Referrals David and Mary Nakanishi had no contact with the birth mother of their adopted daughter Grace.
