FAQ: Do we get to choose who we adopt?

We have got a lot a great questions from family and friends and thought we would go ahead and enter the answers online for all to learn a little more about the adoption process. So please let us know if you have a question...we'd love to answer it for everyone to view.

FAQ: Do we get to choose who we adopt?
During our application process we filled out a questionnaire that have all the details about everything about our future child that could come up...gender, race, age,special needs, birth mother's health, birth father's health, willingness to have an open adoption, etc. You can choose "Yes", "No" or "Willing to Consider". By putting "No" the adoption agency will not approach you with any part of what you don't want. However, by putting "Yes" or "Willing to Consider" you can be presented a lot of different items to consider with your adopted child. We have decided to be open to a lot of different situations on the questionnaire. We could have been very specific with any part of the questionnaire and even asked for a certain gender. However, the more specific you are the longer you may have to wait for the exact case you are looking for...so you must become very patient.
Our hope is that we will adopt exactly who God has always intended for us to adopt. So stay with us to see who joins our family in the future.
