Adoptions

Adoption can be a wonderful and satisfying response to unplanned pregnancies and childlessness. Children thrive best in stable, nurturing, loving two parent families able to provide futures filled with opportunities.

Our goal is to secure permanent placements for every child based on their best interest.

Our services help prospective adoptive parents learn of the many alternatives within the adoption process. Our professional and caring staff help through education, counsel and support to help you access the appropriate alternatives for you.

We recognize adoption as a life-long process. We balance the needs of birth parents and adoptive parents with a primary concern for the best interest of the adoptive family. Birth parents are involved in choosing adoptive parents and may be offered the opportunity to meet adoptive parents. Often on-going contact is desired during the years that follow, and non-identifying information is shared.

Most placements are infants: Caucasian, African-American and multiethnic. Some have physical, mental or emotional needs. Occasionally we place older children. We collaborate with international agencies to prepare, support and follow you through the adoption process.

Our services include:

• Consultation & Education
• Homestudy
• Counseling
• Post-Placement
• Networking & Facilitation
• Interstate Adoptions
• International assistance

Baptist Children's Home is a non-for-profit, licensed Child Placing Agency offering complete adoption service with an individualized approach.
