What is a designated adoption? Does New Life facilitate these placements?
A designated adoption is one in which the adoptive parents and the birth parents meet each other outside of the agency. We are able to facilitate these types of placements, however, the adoptive family is still required to meet our criteria and is also required to have an valid adoption study. If a prospective adoptive family is in need of an adoption study for the purpose of a designated adoption, we are able to provide that service.
