We have an ongoing need for families wishing to adopt African-American infants and toddlers. Domestic adoption may be traditional or open. In traditional adoption there is no exchange of information between birth parents and adoptive parents. Open adoptions vary according to the wishes of all parties involved. In many open adoptions the birth parents participate in the selection of the adoptive parents from the agency's approved families.
Some parents choose to meet face to face without exchanging last names.
Before a child's placement, the degree of future contact is discussed and agreed upon. The African-American children available for adoption through The Children's Home Society of NJ include young infants and toddlers. Most are healthy, however some babies have been born with drugs or alcohol in their background. Adoptive families recieve full family and medical background when a child is offered to them for adoption. It is not difficult to adopt.
