Be sure to ask whether they give adoption counseling. If you have not already made up your mind about adoption, let workers at the agency know that. An adoption agency is a service that matches people who want to find homes for children with people who want children. Agencies choose adoptive parents by trying to find out why they want children, whether they are physically and mentally healthy, and how well they can take care of the child. Workers from the agency visit the home to see if it is safe.
Many agencies let the natural parents have a say in choosing.
You will want to let the worker know whether you are interested in an open or closed adoption. The young woman answers the ad. The ad usually says the couple who want a baby will give it a good loving home and will pay all the expenses of care before and after the birth. You can meet the couple and decide whether you think they will be good parents for your child. But for the adotion to be legal, a court must approve your choice.
