How We Help
Prospective adoptive parents undergo an assessment prior to being approved to adopt a child. They have shown they are able to provide a loving, safe, and financially secure home for a child. Once the home study is completed, the families hope to connect with a parent placing a child for adoption and frequently match well before a child is born. We support our expecting parents in selecting the best adoptive family for their child.
Families offer their individuality, beliefs, and personal styles to their family, and while they are all wonderful people, only certain families will feel “just right” to a parent considering an adoption plan for their child. Here are some of the families Morning Star has approved to adopt and a brief introduction to each of them. Other families are also available by contacting us. We have families open to all kinds of adoption situations. Each family has written a more extensive introduction, called an Adoptive Family Profile which are all available in our office. We can help you find a family based on whatever criteria are important to you.
At Morning Star, you are not putting your baby up for adoption; you are placing your baby with a loving adoptive family that you have chosen for your child.
