Learning About Adoption

Are You Ready For Adoption

People making this decision face a series of separate challenges: getting themselves out of treatment; making some emotional peace with the loss of the dream of making a much-desired baby; and facing assorted fears and concerns about adoption and the adoption process.

Domestic

If a domestic adoption is sought, a choice must be made between either an independent (non-agency) adoption or an agency adoption. Learn more about these options here.

International

In an international adoption, adoptive parents will adopt a child residing in another country, and will need to comply with the laws of that country. Explore international adoption here.

Navigating the Legal Maze

The adoption of a child is one of the most important legal proceedings in which a person can ever engage. As such, obtaining proper legal advice is essential. This is true no matter which type of adoption is being pursued.

Connect with others

When considering adoption it is important to hear what others have to say about the process and the experience. Connect with others who are considering adoption through the RESOLVE nationwide network.
