What Is an Adoption Plan?

An adoption plan is a step a birth mother must complete until the entire adoption process is finalized. The first two steps you will be asked to do are: figure out what type of adoption you want and what kind of adoptive family to choose.

There are three basic adoption types you can choose from. Do any of these types resonate with you?

Open Adoption

I am a birth mother interested in having a relationship with my child and the adoptive family in the future. I want consistent close communication with my child. Types of contact options are personal emails and letters, in-person visits, and phone/video calls. 

Closed Adoption

I’m a birth mother who chooses that no contact form is best. I think the child will have a healthy, happy life with the adoptive family I chose. 

Semi-Open Adoption

I am a birth mother who wants a relationship with the adoptive family and my child. However, I think I should schedule communication on a professional basis. Forms of communication can be professional emails and letters with photographs, video and phone calls, and scheduled in-person visits. All contact forms are updates on the child’s well-being and are mediated through Adoption Choices of Colorado.

Five common questions to consider when choosing an adoptive family are:

1. Location

Do you want the adoptive family to be near you? In the same county, state, or city?

2. Values and Morals

Having similar values and morals is an essential preference for you. Does it matter if they have some different opinions about living a well-balanced life?

3. Upbringing

Do you want an adoptive family that shares the same views on how a child should be raised? Are you flexible and will accept if they have some differences in raising a child?

4. Race/ Ethnic background

Would you prefer an adoptive family with the same background as you, or does it not matter?

5. Religion

Is religion an essential part of your life that you want a family with the same religion to raise your child? Do you think any family with any type of religious background is fine? If you are an atheist, do you want your adoptive family to be atheists?

Consider these questions very carefully, including other kinds of preferences you have in mind. Once you have completed this checklist, your adoption specialist from Adoption Choices of Colorado will find the adoptive families that are a good fit for you.
