Do I Qualify to Adopt?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div> [vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If you are interested in adopting a child, a good first step is to obtain a home study<\/a> from an authorized child placing agency or a licensed professional. \u00a0The home study is an independent investigation to verify your suitability as an adoptive parent. \u00a0The home study is valid for one year and can be updated easily. \u00a0There are no restrictions based on age or marital status but certain criminal convictions can prevent a home study from being granted. \u00a0Unless you are already a licensed foster home, a child cannot be placed in your home by an adoption entity until you have an up-to-date home study. \u00a0The next step is to prepare a profile that can be submitted to birth parents. \u00a0Birth parents generally make a \u201cdream family list\u201d and your profile is shown when you are a good match. \u00a0Your profile is your chance to express your feelings about the birth parent\u2019s decision in the form of a \u201cdear birth parent\u201d letter and to describe yourself through a picture collage. \u00a0 You should also think about the adoption situation that would best suit you and the circumstances that are acceptable to you. \u00a0Do you prefer a newborn? \u00a0Are you open to the possibility of twins? \u00a0Would you accept placement of a child that has been exposed in utero to cigarettes or narcotics?<\/p>\n

Often, prospective adoptive parents want to know how they can expedite their chances of adopting a child. \u00a0First, you should tell everyone you know about your search for a child with the hope that someone may learn of a situation down the road. \u00a0In addition, you should be aware that Florida law only allows adoption professionals to advertise that a child is sought for adoption. \u00a0Any advertisement in Florida must contain the name and license number of an adoption professional that is working with you. \u00a0 While the internet may also lead you to a possible adoption situation, it is always a good idea to have a prospective birth parent speak to your adoption professional in the early stages of your communications.<\/p>\n
