We recommend that you sign a short term guardianship form about six weeks before your baby's due date. So, ideally, you should contact us around 3 months before the baby is due. That will give us time to meet with you to discuss your adoption and to draft and get documents signed before the baby is born. Of course, you can consult with us at any time. The adoption process can start after the baby is born. However, the earlier we start the adoption process, the sooner we can get the protections for your family in place.
