Domestic Adoption
In domestic adoption you work with a licensed agency or attorney to legally adopt a child.  Generally the children available in domestic adoption are under two and most are newborns.  There are children of all races available for adoption and you can often select the gender of the child.  Typically the women looking to place children for adoption are in their 20’s and 30’s and already have one or more children.  She knows what it takes to raise a child, emotionally and financially, and knows she cannot care for the child the way she would like.     She can make an adoption plan for her child at any time, including after birth.    Most adoptions are semi-open to open.  It is very rare to find fully closed adoptions.   In a semi-open to open adoption you have varying degrees of contact with the biological family, both pre-birth and after birth.  Often that contact will go through an intermediary after birth but more and more frequently adoptive families and birth families are maintaining relationships on their own.     Many studies have shown that this type of adoption is healthiest for the child and since we all love our children and want what is best for them, many of us are opting to have open adoptions, even if it is awkward and painful at times.  Adoption is a painful sacrifice on the part of the birth family.  It is often said that a mother may relinquish her rights to a child but not her love.
