Local Adoptions – Adoption in Colorado

Local Adoptions – Adoption in Colorado

A local adoption agency means you have support near you, right here at home! Adoption Choices of Colorado is licensed by the state of Colorado and LOCAL. Unlike national adoption agencies that work with prospective birth mothers and adoptive parents across the United States, local adoption agencies only work within a particular region or state. While there are plenty of local adoption agencies that specialize in private domestic adoptions, there are also local adoption agencies in every state that focus on either international or foster care adoptions. We are RIGHT HERE, LOCAL for you!

What Services do Local Adoption Agencies Provide?

Local adoption agencies offer many of the same services that national adoption agencies are well‐known for. Here are some services that Adoption Choices of Colorado can provide:

  • Unplanned pregnancy support
  • Adoption planning
  • Matching services
  • Counseling and educational resources
  • Hospital and birth planning
  • Post-placement communication, counseling, and support

WHAT ARE THE PROS  OF WORKING WITH A LOCAL ADOPTION AGENCY?

There are several reasons why you might consider working with a local adoption agency over a national one. Before you decide, here are the top reasons why you should work with a local adoption agency:

Pros of Local Adoption Agencies

  • Local adoption agencies are licensed by their state’s government, which means their files and procedures reviewed every year and are thoroughly regulated by the state.
    • This helps give adoptive families and prospective birth mothers peace of mind when working locally.
  • You will be able to meet your adoption specialist in person.
    • Having face‐to‐face contact can help you feel more secure in the adoption process.
    • Of course, due to COVID, we will work with you with whatever form of communication you are comfortable with! We can meet via video, telephone, or just text if that’s how you’re comfortable!
  • Having a smaller client list means that we are better equipped to handle your needs!

Adopt Out My Child, Place My Child for Adoption, Put My Baby up for Adoption

Adopt Out My Child, Place My Child for Adoption, Put My Baby up for Adoption

However you say it, Google it, or whatever words you use to talk about it, adoption is a loving, healthy choice when you are facing an unplanned, unexpected, or unwanted pregnancy.

The language we use doesn’t change the adoption process and we are an adoption center here to make sure you understand the ins and outs, good and bad, JOY and griefs of adoption.

If you are considering adoption for your baby, it’s important to get as much information, advice, and counseling as you can. You can do this before the birth and we will help you make a thorough adoption plan that works for you!

What does adoption mean?

Adoption is permanent. It’s obviously a big decision, but there are plenty of ways to get support that will help you. A good place to start is by talking to one of our social workers or adoption specialists. When you give a baby up for adoption, you are cutting all legal ties to your child. The baby’s adoptive parents will be their legal parents. The baby will have their surname and inherit their property. You will give up all legal rights and responsibilities for the child.

Understanding the adoption process

Adoption is a legal process. Each state and territory has its own adoption laws, so the process is slightly different depending on where you live. The intent of the law is to ensure you fully understand adoption before you give consent for your baby to be adopted.

Giving consent to adoption

The baby’s birth mother and father must both sign a consent form for the adoption. The father has the same legal rights to the child as the mother. That means he has a right to take part in the legal process, can provide medical information and can have a say about the adoptive parents. If the birth father is unknown or uninvolved, we can still work with you and adoption is still an option!
