How the Adoption Process Works in Tiffin

Adoption is not “giving up” your baby. It’s creating a path for their future, and yours, with love and intention. Here’s how the process works with CFK:

  • Step 1: Reach Out When You’re Ready

    Call, text, or submit our online form. There’s no pressure, just someone ready to listen.

  • Step 2: Meet Where You’re Comfortable

    We can come to your home, meet at a hospital, or talk virtually. You decide what feels safest.

  • Step 3: Learn About Your Options

    We’ll walk you through open, semi-open, and closed adoption. You choose what feels right.

  • Step 4: Choose the Right Family

    You can view waiting adoptive family profiles and select the one that feels best to you. Meeting them is optional.

  • Step 5: Create a Personal Plan

    From your hospital preferences to how you want communication after placement, everything is centered around your comfort and needs.

  • Step 6: Receive Ongoing Support

    Even after placement, we remain by your side with counseling, retreats, and lifelong support.

Understanding Adoption Types

Every birthmother’s needs are different. At CFK, you’re empowered to choose the level of contact and privacy that works for you.

Adoption Type What It Means Best For…
Open Adoption You meet the family and may receive updates, photos, or visits. Birthmothers who want an ongoing connection
Semi-Open CFK shares updates on your behalf while keeping your identity private. Women seeking some updates while keeping distance
Closed Adoption No contact or identifying info is shared. Women who want full privacy and space

Your adoption plan can be adjusted anytime before you sign legal consent after birth.
