Now, let’s talk about our adoption agencies in NYC.
What Is Adoption?
Legally, adoption is an agreement between a birth parent and adoptive parents which transfers custody of the birth parent’s child to the child’s adoptive parents. But adoption is a lot more than that. Putting your baby up for adoption can help everyone involved in the process. For you, the birth parent, you might not be at a place in your life where you can feasibly care for a child. Placing your baby for adoption can help your child and yourself. Your child goes to a family that is not only ready for a baby but wants one. Finally, adoption helps those adoptive parents who might not be able to have a child or are looking to adopt for some other reason which will make their family more complete. The adoption process is a lot more than a legal agreement. It is a way for you to keep your life on track, give your baby a better life, and help another family blossom.
What Is Private Adoption?
Maybe you’ve heard of the different types of adoption, which include open, semi-open, and closed adoption. Private adoption differs from these, referring to the kind of adoption agency through which you’ll plan your child’s adoption. For instance, Adoption Choices of New York is a private adoption agency in New York. This title means that the state licenses us to help expectant and current mothers of young children who decide to place their child or children for adoption. Private adoption allows you, the birth parents, to choose the adoptive family from various pre-screened candidates. Then after you sign a few papers following your delivery, the custody of your child transfers to the adoptive parents you selected.
How Is Private Adoption Different from Public Adoption?
In a private adoption, the birth mother controls every decision, including who adopts her baby and whether her baby goes up for adoption in the first place. In a public adoption, the state or social services gets involved, and they are the ones who determine that the birth parents must place their child for adoption. The birth mother has no options in these cases, nor does she get to have a say in which family adopts her child.
