Why Choose Open Adoption?

How to Find the Right Open Adoption Family
As the birth mother, you are in control. Your wishes, hopes, and dreams for your child matter. Our adoption specialists carefully curate open adoption family profiles to help match you with families that align with your values and vision.
Steps to Finding an Open Adoptive Family

What to Consider When Choosing an Open Adoption Family
Every birth mother has unique hopes for her child’s future. Here’s a checklist to help you evaluate different families and determine what’s most important:
- Family Structure – Would you like your child to have siblings? Are you open to single-parent families?
- Lifestyle & Interests – Do you want your child to grow up in a home that reflects your values and traditions?
- Level of Openness – Would you prefer regular updates, letters, or in-person visits?
- Religious or Cultural Background – Do you want the family to share your faith or cultural identity?
- Location – Would a Wisconsin-based family make visits easier?
- Parenting Philosophy – Do their values align with what you want for your child’s upbringing?
- Stability & Home Environment – Can they provide a secure, loving home?

How to Know When You’ve Found the Right Family
The right family is one that makes you feel comfortable, supported, and respected. Birth mothers often know they’ve found the right match when:
- They feel an instant connection with the adoptive parents.
- The adoptive family is open, understanding, and eager to build a relationship.
- They share similar values and hopes for the child’s future.
- Communication is easy, transparent, and free of pressure.
- They can confidently envision their child thriving in the adoptive family’s care.
Taking the time to build a relationship before placement can lead to a more positive and fulfilling adoption experience.

Open adoption is built on trust and flexibility. Every relationship is different, and contact can evolve over time. Common post-placement arrangements include:
- Emails, phone calls, or text updates to share milestones and special moments.
- At least one in-person visit within the first five years, with the option for more.
- Handwritten letters or video calls to maintain a deeper emotional bond.
- Photo sharing through digital albums or private online groups.
