Where can I find families looking to adopt my baby?

The beauty of adoption in Idaho (and all states) is that you do not have to “give up” your baby to just prospective adoptive parents living in the Gem State. You can find families looking to adopt just about anywhere. There is no need for distance to limit your search for an adoptive family in Idaho.

A national adoption agency is the best way to begin your search, as there are many amazing families waiting for adoption across the country that would want nothing more than to meet the birth mother of their future child.

Here are a few adoption agencies that can help you along your journey:

• AmericanAdoptions
• A New Beginning Adoption Agency

If you have your eyes set on adoptive parents in another state, you won’t need to worry about traveling to them as plans would be arranged for them to come to you once they get the phone call.

There are many beautiful stories of adoption across state lines, like Mike and Destiny’s story as a couple looking to adopt a baby, which you can watch here.

What kind of questions should I ask families looking to adopt?

Developing a relationship with prospective adoptive parents can be intimidating and uneasy at first, but a simple icebreaker for the couple looking to adopt can be easy as, “How did you two meet?” 

Some other casual questions should flow smoothly, but here are some more that you can ask the family looking to adopt:

• What is your favorite thing about your spouse?
• What kind of hobbies do you have?
• What do you love most about where you live?
• Where do you go on vacations?
• What are your favorite shows/movies/podcasts/books?
• What’s your favorite kind of food?

Did I find the right adoptive parents?

After communicating with families wanting to adopt in Idaho and getting to know them more, it’s always a good idea to go with your gut.

One birth mother, Lindsay, said she knew from the infectious smile of one couple that they were the ones for her child.

“I was nervous to meet them, but a friend who had adopted told me, ‘You will know when you meet them if they are the right fit,’ Well, she was right,” Lindsay said.

“The moment I met them I knew they were meant to raise my son and be his parents. I left that initial meeting filled with joy, laughter, and peace. I just knew they were the right fit. Fast forward six years later, and I still feel the same way.”

It may not be that effortless for every expectant mother, but remember that it’s just fine to take your time when searching for families who want to adopt a baby in Idaho ­– your adoption professional will help you every step of the way.

I am having second thoughts. What if I change my mind about an adoptive family?

After spending some time with a family you just don’t get that gut feeling about them, it is perfectly in your right to move on and pursue a relationship with another couple looking to adopt. It happens. They might just not be the perfect fit.

Of course, you are the one in charge of your adoption process, but it can be a good idea to work through this decision with your adoption professional.
