What Is an Adoption Plan? 

An adoption plan is simply an outline of what you want your adoption to look like. After you decide to move forward with choosing adoption, it is important to create a detailed plan. It will help your adoption specialist know exactly how to best help and support you. Putting your adoption plan in writing is a good way to keep your needs in mind throughout the process.

Your plan might include things like your wishes for an adoptive family, your financial needs, and your level of openness. If you choose open or semi-open adoption, you will be able to select an adoptive family and even meet with them. You can also decide what your hospital stay will look like and outline your needs for post-placement support. 

If you do not know exactly what you want for your adoption, that is okay! Your adoption specialist will help you decide what is best for you based on your individual needs and circumstances. 

In short, an adoption plan is crucial for successful adoption, but no pressure! Your adoption specialist will help ensure your private Colorado adoption is a beneficial experience for everyone involved.
