How soon after the baby is born can it be placed in its new home?
The baby may go home with its new family as soon as you have signed the papers relinquishing your parental rights. The hospital must also indicate that the baby is medically ready to leave. After the adoption is completed, will I need to have any further contact with Open Adoption Services? If so, why and under what circumstances? You don’t have to maintain contact with us, our only purpose is to bring you and your baby together with qualified, waiting adoptive parents. Why would I choose someone from Open Adoption Services instead of someone in the newspaper? There is no right way to find your Adoptive Family. You just need to pick someone that feels right to you. Many waiting families work simultaneously with Open Adoption Services, newspapers, networking with friends or waiting parent support groups. We require that any waiting parent listed here has already qualified as adoptive candidates by having successfully completed legally required home studies and criminal background checks
Immediately, if the birth mother’s wishes for it to happen. Some birth mothers want the adoptive parents at the hospital during labor so that their bonding experience can begin immediately following the birth of the child. Other mothers choose to spend some time alone with the child first. This, like all of the decisions, belongs to the mother.
