The annual number of infants adopted domestically (excluding foster and relative adoption) is estimated to be around 18,000 — far greater than the annual number of international adoptions. Moreover, the process of adopting a newborn in the United States can go more swiftly than you may imagine. In a 2012-2013 Adoptive Families survey, about half of respondents were matched with a birth mother in less than six months, and 40% were matched less than one month before their child was born.
In the majority of U.S. newborn adoptions, adoptive parents are selected by the birth parents of the child, and in at least half of the cases, the birth parents and adoptive parents meet.

December 4, 2015 at 11:03 amNewborn adoption is a beautiful way to build families. In open adoption, birth mothers and adoptive parents know each other. They meet before the birth of the baby which ensures birth mothers that their child is in great hands and adoptive parents also get the opportunity to know the birth mother and her history.
