Adoption Consultants, Inc.'s Adoption Book of Waiting Families provides yet another low cost alternative (or no cost for contracted families) for gaining additional exposure to expectant mothers seeking adoptive families for their babies!
As part of Adoption Consultant's current outreach program, the office distributes our own Adoption Book of Waiting Families to organizations that assist pregnant women. This book contains profiles of waiting families for expectant mothers to review. It is distributed to organizations that assist expectant mothers, as such hospitals, clinics, physicians, maternity homes, crisis centers, shelters, religious institutions, etc.
The Adoption Book of Waiting Families is distributed routinely throughout the year, as entities the office distributes to runs low on books. As additional books are printed for remission, new families are included in the revised edition. This book provides wonderful exposure to those families waiting to adopt, as these books are targeted specifically at organizations that provide serves expectant mothers!
Because the office creates this book in house, there is no need for our families to print and remit numerous copies of their profile for inclusion in the book. Each family merely provides their profile to the office via e-mail attachment, the document is then saved in the computer, and printed out as revised copies are printed for distribution.
What happens if an expectant mother selects my family to place with?
If you are selected by an expectant mother as a family she would like to place with through inclusion in our Adoption Book of Waiting Families, you will be contacted by the office. Available information provided to Adoption Consultants, Inc. by the expectant parent(s) will be shared with you pertaining to the expectant parent(s) and child, including health/medical and psychosocial background information, applicable medical records and photographs. If the information meets with your approval, the office can arrange for you to speak with the expectant mother by arranging for a 3-way conference call between yourself, the expectant mother and a birthmother advisor. After speaking, if you would like to meet, a meeting in our office may be arranged with a staff member present to assist in the meeting. (Note: Meetings prior to matching are not a mandatory requirement, but rather strictly optional.) After speaking and/or meeting, should the expectant mother wish to proceed forward into a "match" with you and should you wish to accept, you will then be required to contract on as a client of Adoption Consultants, Inc., which would include remitting a signed and dated Facilitation Contractual Agreement to this office, along with full facilitation fee. The same policy and procedures that applies to our contracted families would then apply to you, as you would then have become a contracted family with Adoption Consultants, Inc.!
