Profiles shared with careGetting to know
Getting to know
a family.
Choosing an adoptive family can be an important part of an expectant parent’s adoption plan. Family profiles help expectant parents learn about prospective adoptive families in a thoughtful, private way. Depending on the circumstances and the adoption plan, HavenHeart can help you review appropriate profiles and discuss your preferences with your caseworker.
What a profile may include
A thoughtful introduction to a family.
Depending on the information appropriate for a profile, families may share some or all of the following. Each family decides what it is comfortable presenting.
- Family and marriage story
- Children and pets
- Careers
- Hobbies and interests
- Faith and values
- Home and community
- Parenting philosophy
- Reasons for wanting to adopt
- Hopes for their future family
- Letter to an expectant mother
How profiles are shared
Private by design.
HavenHeart does not publicly list children who are available for adoption. Information concerning individual adoption opportunities and family profiles is handled through appropriate agency procedures and applicable privacy requirements.
Handled privately
Profiles are shared through the agency process rather than as a public directory. Private contact information is not published.
Coordinated by our team
If you are interested in learning more about a family, HavenHeart coordinates communication rather than providing direct private contact details.
Focused on the child
A profile is an introduction, not a guarantee. The goal is to help expectant parents make an informed decision that feels right for their circumstances.
For expectant parentsYou can have a voice
You can have a voice
in the adoption plan.
You do not have to choose a family before you are ready. Your caseworker can talk with you about the qualities, values, family structure, location, communication preferences, and other factors that may be important to you when considering an adoptive family.
If you would like to learn more about a particular family, our team will coordinate the appropriate next steps with you. Your privacy and the family’s privacy are both treated with care.
