Frequently Asked Questions for Birth Mothers in Maine

What are the adoption laws I need to know in Maine?

Adoption laws vary by state. It is important to work with a Maine adoption agency that can provide you with trained attorneys who are well-versed in adoption laws in Maine.

Can I choose my child’s adoptive family?

Yes. At Adoptions With Love, you can choose your child’s adoptive parents. You can also speak with – or meet them in person – if you wish. Your adoption specialist can provide you with adoptive family profiles to browse. They can also get more information about prospective families, should you have any questions.

Can I have contact with my child after I place my child for adoption?

Yes. At Adoptions With Love, all adoptive families agree to a semi-open or open adoption. This means there is ongoing communication between birth and adoptive families for the child’s upbringing. Every adoption is different, and the same rule applies to adoption plans. You may choose to stay connected with occasional text messages, email, phone calls, or in-person reunions. A Maine adoption agency, such as Adoptions With Love, can help you determine the best form and frequency of communication that meets your needs.

What will my child think of me?

Most adopted children in open adoptions report having positive feelings about their situation. They grow up with a strong sense of identity, having access to their background and adoption story. They also grow up knowing they are loved by two families, not just one. If you feel that you need a closed adoption, that is okay, too. You can rest assured your child will be raised in a healthy and loving home that is full of opportunities. You can always open up your adoption later; adoption is a life-long journey.

How do I know my baby will be placed in a safe and stable home?

Every adoptive family who works with Adoptions With Love must complete a Home Study. This several month-long process includes several home visits, interviews, background checks, and the review of medical and financial documents. This ensures that every adopted family home is a healthy one – mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.

What if I change my mind after I have chosen the adoptive family?

At Adoptions With Love, you will never be pressured to complete the adoption process. Until you sign the consent forms, you can change your mind. We encourage expectant/birth mothers to take all the time they need before making their final decision.

At Adoptions With Love, you will NEVER be alone in these processes. We are always here with you, even if it is just to talk. Allowing your baby to be a part of a loving adoptive family is a brave and selfless choice for your child’s future. If you think you are ready for adoption, we have the resources, expertise, and love necessary to meet your needs during and after your pregnancy.
