Yes. In the event that you decide to place your file on a hold status (i.e. you are matched with a birth mother via another agency, you choose to pursue fertility treatments, you become pregnant), you must notify the adoptive parent coordinator who will place your file on hold for up to six (6) months. If you do not contact the adoptive parent coordinator before the expiration of the six (6) months to obtain an extension, your file will be closed. Please be advised that the length of time your file is on hold does not count toward your total wait time. If your file is closed and you decide to re-apply to our agency at a later date, you will be responsible for re-starting the process.
