Even if you have not yet made a decision to place your baby for adoption, contacting an adoption agency in New Mexico or adoption organization, like Angel Adoption, is a great way to weigh your options. Our staff of adoption professionals will answer any questions you may have, and provide you with all the information you need to move forward if you choose and make an adoption plan.
You are probably wondering this works. Here is an overview of the steps you take to complete the adoption process in New Mexico.
We will help you create an adoption plan based on your specific wants and needs. You’ll start by browsing our database of profiles of waiting adoptive families. You can choose what type of adoption you want, including how much contact you’d like to have with your baby and the adopting parents during and after the adoption.
If you’ve chosen to communicate with the adoptive family, we can arrange for you to talk on the phone, email, or text with them. All of our waiting families have been licensed to adopt a baby in the United States and are fully prepared to provide a loving and stable home.
Next, you will meet with a social worker or attorney – at no cost to you. This meeting allows you to tell them about your needs and wants during the adoption, and will help you to learn more about the legal aspects of adoption.
We will provide you with all the support and assistance you need throughout your pregnancy. You can communicate with the adoptive family as much or as little as you wish.
You’ll be able to spend as much time as you would like to in the hospital with your baby, the adoptive family, and/or a counselor after the birth. The baby may go directly home from the hospital with the adoptive family. Shortly after you will sign the legal documents consenting to the adoption.
After the adoption process is completed, the amount of contact you’ll have with the baby and adoptive family depends on the type of adoption you choose. The post-adoption experience is different for every birthmother. Your adoption agency in New Mexico can work with you to put together a plan that will help you move forward after the adoption and get the ongoing support you need.
A fulfilling part of the adoption process is choosing the right adoptive family for your baby. All Angel Adoption families have been pre-screened and are ready to provide a safe, stable, and loving home.
Sorting through adoptive parent profiles can be tough, and overwhelming. Before you start looking think about what matters most to you. What are your must haves? What are deal breakers? Is there anything you don’t want? You have the right to pick any adoptive family based on any set of criteria. Take your time, and review as many profiles as you need to.
The first step is contacting an adoption agency in New Mexico, or an adoption organization, like Angel Adoption. If you choose to work with us, we will guide and support you throughout the entire adoption process. You will view adoptive parent profiles and choose a family that you feel is the best fit for you and your baby. We’ll help you put together an adoption plan customized to your wants and needs, such as whether it will be an open or closed adoption, and what you’ll do after the adoption.
No. As a birthmother, all of our counseling and services are provided at no cost to you. You may also receive financial assistance for housing and pregnancy-related expenses.
No. Adoption is entirely your choice. Your parents cannot legally prevent you from putting your baby up for adoption. You decide what is best for you and your baby.
All Angel Adoption waiting adoptive families are thoroughly evaluated through a home study course conducted by a licensed agency. The home study process includes assessments of their character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history. The agency also runs background checks to verify there is no record of criminal activity or child abuse. A social worker will inspect the family’s home to ensure it is a safe environment for a child.
Angel Adoption also requires each family to be educated on adopting and parenting. After a baby has been placed with the adoptive family, a social worker will continue to monitor and supervise the family.
There are three types of adoption you can choose from. Open adoption is the most common form of adoption in the United States. In an open or semi-open adoption, you can choose the adoptive family and decide on the amount and type of contact during and after the adoption. In a closed adoption, you and the adoptive parents remain anonymous for the entire process.
It’s never too late. We receive calls and messages from birthmothers who are in labor or who have already had their baby. If you’ve decided to place your baby for adoption, you can contact us anytime — we are here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can have an adoptive family available for your baby within hours. The adoptive parents may take the baby home with them from the hospital, avoiding any need for foster care.
