How to Find Adoptive Parents for My Baby [3 Steps]
The adoption process can be summarized in three general steps. Here’s how you can get started and find adoptive parents for your baby:
Step 1: Outline Your Adoption Plan With an Adoption Specialist
Our adoption specialists are committed to working in your best interest. Based on your desires for your baby’s future, they’ll help you outline a plan for the entire process. This will include information about the adoptive family you’re looking for, what you need during the hospital stay and how much contact you’d like to maintain after the adoption.
With over 30 years of experience, American Adoptions of Colorado has developed a seamless and supportive adoption process. Our team includes birth mothers, adoptive parents and adoptees who understand your journey firsthand. If you need someone to talk to, you can reach us at 1-800-ADOPTION or fill out our online contact form.
Step 2: Browse Family Profiles and Find Adoptive Parents for Your Baby
Once you’ve created an adoption plan, you can start the process of finding an adoptive family for your baby. Every family we work with has been meticulously vetted and is fully committed to adoption. So, you can confidently choose the best possible adoptive parents for your baby.
“I’m looking for someone to adopt my baby, but I have specific preferences. Is that okay?” Yes, you can narrow down your choice of family profiles by various criteria, such as:
-
Type
-
Region
-
Political views
-
Heritage and culture
-
Family size
-
Whether they have pets
-
And more
For instance, maybe you’re looking for a couple to adopt your baby who lives nearby and has a dog. Maybe you’re looking for a family who lives in a diverse neighborhood and celebrates your culture. No matter what you’re looking for, we can help you find adoptive parents that fit your preferences.
Step 3: Sign the Adoption Paperwork After Giving Birth
Childbirth can be intense and stressful, so we want to make sure your hospital stay is as smooth as possible. While creating your adoption plan, your adoption specialist will ask you about your wishes for the delivery. Some common questions include:
-
Who do you want in the delivery room for support?
-
Would you like the adoptive family to be there during or after the birth?
-
Do you want to hold the baby first?
After the birth, you can consent to the adoption and sign the paperwork. We’ll connect you with an adoption attorney before the birth to ensure your rights are protected and help you feel secure. Additionally, we’ll provide financial assistance to cover pregnancy-related expenses.
How to Find Someone Local to Adopt My Baby
If you want to find a local adoptive family, you can browse our waiting families list and see who lives in Colorado. The best way to do this is to search by region at the top of page. We have Colorado classified under “Western States.” You can also narrow your search by family type and whether they have children or not.
You can also talk with your adoption specialist on the phone at 1-800-ADOPTION. They can locate profiles of hopeful adoptive parents who live near your town.

Can I Find Adoptive Parents Who Want an Open Adoption?
As you look for an adoptive family for your baby, you might be concerned about choosing adoptive parents who live far away versus more local in Colorado. Know that choosing adoption doesn’t mean saying “goodbye” to your baby. Most modern adoptions are open or semi-open so that birth mothers can stay in contact with the adoptive families.
The level of contact you prefer post-placement is usually defined in your adoption plan and shared with the adoptive family you choose. You can decide how you want to stay in touch with your baby and their adoptive family. Possible communication methods include:
-
In-person visits
-
Video calls
-
Phone calls
-
Text messages
-
Social media
-
Photo-sharing apps
-
Letters
-
And more
Many birth mothers find comfort in forming close relationships with their babies’ adoptive parents. Some transition from strangers to friends or even extended family. That was Carmen’s experience as a birth mother.
“I spent the next several weeks combing through what must have been dozens of wonderful families. Then, I found them — the couple that I immediately felt connected to. Once we found each other, it was as if we were attending a normal family get-together. We laughed and talked and enjoyed each other’s company. I grew to know and care for them — not only as the couple that would become the parents of my unborn son, but as friends and family.” –Carmen, birth mother
