What Are Adoption Profiles?

Adoption profiles are detailed introductions to the hopeful parents looking to grow their family through adoption. Each profile includes:

• Family background and lifestyle
• Hobbies and personal interests
• Why they chose adoption
• Parenting values and philosophies
• Photos of their home, life, and loved ones
• Video profiles — a powerful way to get a sense of their personality and warmth

These profiles are created to help you make a deeply personal and informed choice about who will raise your child.

How You Can View Adoption Profiles

There are two ways you can view adoptive parent profiles:

1. Get Personalized Profiles Based on Your Preferences

When you contact us, your specialist will ask about the kind of family you envision for your baby. They’ll then send you profiles that match your hopes — including options like:

• Family size
• Religious or cultural background
• Location (in Pennsylvania or out-of-state)
• Openness to post-adoption contact
• Lifestyle (urban vs. rural, travel, education, etc.)

This custom matching process helps you feel confident and comfortable in your choice.

2. Browse Online Adoption Profiles at Your Own Pace

You can also explore adoption profiles online any time. Watch family videos, read their letters, and get to know them on your terms.

What to Look for in an Adoptive Family

Choosing a family isn’t just about checking boxes — it’s about finding someone who feels right. Here are a few things to consider:

• Shared values: Do they share your beliefs about parenting, education, or family time?
• Cultural background: Do you want your child raised in a family that celebrates certain traditions or speaks a certain language?
• Post-adoption contact: Are they open to sending photos, having visits, or maintaining a relationship?
• Lifestyle: Do you want your child raised in the city or countryside? With siblings or as an only child?
• Emotional connection: Do their words and videos make you feel something? Trust your intuition.
