Should I place my child for adoption?

The decision to place a child for adoption is a difficult one only you can answer. We can not answer this question for you. We can provide you with information you may need to help make this decision. We will offer you caring support and make arrangements for you to receive counseling.


How will I know an adoptive family will take good care of my child?

Prospective adoptive parents must go through an extensive screening process before they are approved to adopt. The adoption process includes social worker visits to their home, interviews, criminal background investigations and the providing of references. All adoptive parents must be approved by the court. You will also have the opportunity to select the family you feel comfortable with.


Can I choose the family to adopt my child?

Yes, you can discuss your individual desires for an adoptive family with us and we will present families we represent who meet those qualities you are looking for. We maintain information from our families seeking to adopt, which includes photographs and letters. You may use this information to help select a potential family. You may speak with the family or meet with them in person if you desire. You may ask the prospective adoptive family questions, so that you may feel assured this is the right family for you and your child.

What type of assistance may I receive?

If you are in need of assistance, the family you have selected may be able to help you with:

  • medical care and medications
  • counseling
  • living expenses
  • clothing
  • transportation

Why should I select your firm to work with?

We are a small law firm of all women, dedicated to offering you a caring, concerned approach to adoption. We are sensitive to your needs and will work with you personally to help determine your individual desires as they relate to this process. Do you want to decide who adopts your child? Do you have a preference for the type of family to adopt your child? We will take the time to make certain your preferences are known and that you are satisfied. We are dedicated to the needs of children and families and will assist in making the best placement possible for you and your child.


What if my child is a child of color?

If your child is bi-racial, multiracial, African American, Hispanic, Native American or other minority, it is important to discuss this with us when making initial adoption plans. We will present families to you who are looking for children like your own to love and adopt.


What should I do if I am interested in adoption?

If you would like to speak with us, call us anytime at (850) 577-3077, or on our toll-free number (888) 883-6830. Your call will be confidential and free of charge. You are welcome to speak with us on the phone or make an appointment to meet with us in person.
