What Does the Adoption Process Look Like?

Adoption isn’t about “giving up” a baby, it’s about making a loving plan for your child’s future. Every adoption journey is unique, but CFK walks with you every step of the way.

  • Step 1: Reach Out Confidentially

    Call, text, or contact us online. You don’t have to be sure about adoption just open to talking.

  • Step 2: Meet in a Safe Space

    We can meet wherever you feel comfortable your home, a hospital, a coffee shop, or virtually.

  • Step 3: Learn About Adoption Options

    You’ll learn the difference between open, semi-open, and closed adoption so you can choose what feels right.

  • Step 4: Choose a Family

    View profiles of waiting adoptive families and choose who feels best for your baby. Meeting them is optional.

  • Step 5: Create a Personalized Plan

    Decide your hospital experience, birth preferences, and future contact level. You’re always in control.

  • Step 6: Access Lifelong Support

    CFK offers free counseling, birthmother retreats, and emotional support long after placement.
