You are in the right place if you are here because you have considered adoption. Adoption is a loving and selfless choice that any birth mother could make. You are putting the well-being and future life of your child above all.  Adoption Choices of Nevada is able to assist you in any way you need and provide you with all the right resources. It is normal for you to be nervous or scared of where your child will end up. We understand the concerns with choosing the right adoptive family and how you know they will be the best fit for your child. Never fear to reach out with any questions you have regarding the adoption process because it is a judgment-free zone. 

If you are giving your baby up for adoption, you might be asking yourself, can I choose the adoptive family? If so, how do I know which family to choose? These are valid questions and ones that we answer a lot to birth mothers. With  Adoption Choices of Nevada, we have a specific place on our website to show you all the families waiting to adopt. If you look at that page, you will notice that not one family is the same. Every family is unique and has different qualities. You might have preferences on your adoptive family, such as race, religion, or sexual orientation. Whatever your preferences might be, we have families of all kinds, and we promise you will find one that fits right to you. 

Choosing Your Adoptive Family

All of the families that are choosing to adopt through us are pre-screened and approved to be fit in raising a child.  Adoption Choices of Nevada families have been thoroughly screened, have had home studies done, and are certified to adopt a child. The families that work with us were chosen because they are open to the adoption process and value building a relationship with your baby and you. We understand it can still be a difficult decision and feel very stressful. You are choosing your child’s forever home, and that is a big decision a birth mother must make. Just know that you are in complete control and have the final say in the adoptive family. We want you to make the decision that is comfortable for you. 

There are single and co-parent families, straight and gay couples, families of different religions, and families of a different race. When creating your adoption plan with your birth parent counselor, you will begin specifying your expectations of an adoptive family and setting your preferences. Now, these preferences do not have to be set in stone, and you are capable of changing your mind at any time, so do not worry. We might have recommendations of families that we can provide to you, but they might not meet your expectations, and that is okay. We recommend families that we feel will be best suited for the life you want your child to have. However, all of our families are very loving and qualified to raise your baby. 

An Adoptive Family of a Different Race

Being open-minded when it comes to choosing an adoptive family is very important. Your child has the chance to grow up in a different environment than the one you did and has an endless amount of opportunities. If you really want your child to thrive, consider choosing an adoptive family that might be on the opposite end of you. Choosing an adoptive family of a different race or origin can allow your child to grow up more culturally conscious or aware. That is a huge benefit we see when we place a child into a home of a different race than them. You can still watch your child grow and be a part of their life if that is what you want. You, too, might even be able to become more culturally aware. We want you to do the only thing when making you decide to look at all of your options and be well informed on those options before finalizing anything. This is a choice that lasts a lifetime for you and your child.
