We can work with someone known to you. Give us their information and we will contact them on your behalf, or you can pass on our information to them. When a close friend or family member decides they want to adopt your baby, we insist that family goes through the same screening process we employ for all our other families. The Court will also require them to have an Approved Home Study. We prefer you to have a variety of families to choose from, but if you feel this is the family for your baby, and they meet the criteria the law requires we can proceed with the matching process. To avoid difficulty with the law, all matter pertaining to the adoption should be directed through the Agency.
