so we signed up with "Little Angel" Adoptions which is a law firm. They are a husband wife team. She works with helping birth moms who want to entrust their child to adoptive parents or those who just need help (clothes, etc.) Her husband is the attorney and he does the law side of it. So Greg and i have paid a flat fee, put together our "resume" which is a beautiful life book and our picture is on the Little Angel Adoptions website with our "dear birth mother" letter. Any woman who is thinking about giving her baby to adoptive parents, can search the website and pick the parents she wants for her child. I like this because it takes the shame and mystery out of how adoption used to be. It's an "open" adoption in that greg & i will know the birth mother and she will know us but we both agree on how much contact with want with eachother. When a birthmother picks us, we'll meet her or talk on the phone and see if we're a good match. If we are, we wait for her to give birth and we may or may not be invited to the birth, and then the legal paperwork is done and she has 30days to change her mind i believe. Ah yes, there is risk in everything in life. After the paperwork is signed the child is legally ours.
If you want to see our profile you can log onto
