THE APPLICATION PROCESS

 
  Potential adoptive parents are provided with information as well as the initial application forms, which may be submitted to begin the formal application process.  After initial application materials are received, ABC begins to gather background information, explore adoption expectations, and discuss the applicant's openness towards being in contact with birth parents.  Potential adoptive parents have every opportunity to further clarify their understanding of the process of adopting thought ABC For Adoption Agency.  All materials and information to facilitate a positive adoption experience are provided by the agency.  Potential adoptive parents are encouraged to explore and define their personal adoption expectations.  ABC encourages potential adoptive parents accepted into the ABC traditional domestic adoption program, to use the home study conducted by ABC in conjunction with any other legal adoption resource.  Once accepted into ABC's domestic program, potential adoptive parents may pursue a broad range of adoption opportunities, inside and outside the ABC system.  Through design, we maintain a limited number of applicants.  This is to ensure that our potential parents receive high  quality personal service.  ABC will continue to be small enough to that every applicant and every client can receive personal attention and service.  
  Through the ABC program financial assistance is available.  Financial assistance, among other things, takes into account a couple's individual income, assets and dependents in the home.  The result of financial assistance are reduced placement fees to families adopting through ABC For Adoption.  Ultimately, all financial aid is determined by the Board and is made available at the Board's discretion.  
  ABC For Adoption  is committed to providing services to all kinds of children and to ensure that its services are accessible to potential adoptive parents from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds.  
  ABC For Adoption supports birth parents that are considering adoption in a way that honors the courage, determination, and love required to make an adoption plan for a child.  ABC's professional staff knows what it takes to actively reach out and provide services to birth parents who are considering an adoption plan for their child.  
  ABC will never instill false hopes.  There are never guarantees that adopting a child will be easy or that an adoption will ever occur.  There is no entitlement to adoption.  Adopting a child is a privilege, never to be taken for granted.  Though ABC cannot guarantee an adoptive placement, no domestic adoption organization can, we can guarantee that its staff will be considerate, responsive and accountable.  We will fully support the goal of bringing children into the lives of our potential adoptive parents.  When we are successful in placing a child for adoption we consider it a privilege and a miracle.  
  The best advice that we can offer at this time is, take your time, ask questions, and get the answers that you need.  Whether or not you proceed with an adoption plan, or choose to work with ABC we wish you the very best in your quest.  We than you for you interest and consideration of the ABC For Adoption program.
