What Does the Adoption Process Look Like in Medina?

Choosing adoption isn’t “giving up.” It’s a thoughtful decision made out of love and strength for yourself and your baby.

    Whether it’s at your home, a coffee shop, the hospital, or online, we’ll come to you or meet virtually.

  • Step 3: Learn About Adoption Types

    We explain open, semi-open, and closed adoption so you can decide what feels right for your situation.

  • Step 4: Choose a Waiting Adoptive Family

    Review adoptive family profiles and select the one you feel most connected to. Meeting them is your choice.

  • Step 5: Create a Personal Hospital and Adoption Plan

    You decide what happens at the hospital, what your time with the baby looks like, and how you want placement to unfold.

  • Step 6: Ongoing Support After Placement

    Our care doesn’t end after placement. We’re here for post-placement counseling, birthmother retreats, and long-term support.
