The Adoption Process

AT OPEN ARMS, WE WORK WITH YOU TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT. YOUR CHOICES MATTER, AND YOU ARE IN CHARGE IN THIS PROCESS. HERE ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO CONSIDER. REACH OUT WITH ANY QUESTIONS WHEN YOU ARE READY.

1.    Step 1 – Gather information and ask questions. Feel free to explore our website or contact us directly to speak to a supportive professional at Open Arms for more information. No questions are off limits!

2.    Step 2 – Think about your future. What are your goals? What do you want to accomplish? Are you ready to be the parent you want to be?

3.    Step 3 – Contact Open Arms. If you haven’t already, contact us to speak with someone about your concerns, your dreams, and any remaining questions you have. This does not mean you have to commit to anything!

4.    Step 4 – Stay in touch. Continue to stay in contact with Open Arms. We can be a friendly and familiar face as we guide you through this process by problem-solving and assisting you in locating resources that you may helpful.

5.    Step 5 – Tell us what you’re looking for. When you are ready, tell us more about what you want out of the adoption process. What kind of adoption are you looking for? What kind of family are you looking for? Open Arms will help you get started on any forms and paperwork. You are in the driver’s seat throughout this process, and do not have to commit to anything at this point. This step is simply to learn more about your options and what you may be interested in.

6.    Step 6 – Choose a family! You are more than welcome to start looking at waiting family profiles at anytime during this process. You will let us know what you’re looking for in a family.

7.    Step 7 – Create a birth plan. You are in control of how you want to deliver, who will be there, and what you want it to look like.

8.    Step 8 – Open Arms is there for you every step of the way, including after you give birth, to continue to support you and your adoption plan.
