For the second time yesterday, we submitted our profile book to a birthmother, Suzan! There is some more information that we would want about her and the situation, which we requested but over all she looked like she would be a good fit for us. You can see the description below.

There where some people asking me what we look for in a birthmother. When we get the emails letting us know the agency has a new birthmother, the first thing we look at is if she is open to “non-traditional couples” otherwise there is no point in reading about the situation and getting excited, which has happened many times. Next week look at the price. For each situation there is a different price tag. Then we look to see if she admits to any drugs or alcohol during the pregnancy and when prenatal care was started. We then look at the health history of both parents, the state (location) the baby is in to see what the laws are in that state and how long the time period is for the mother to change her mind. Some states are 72 hours, others are 30 days. We also look at the amount of money that is at risk of being lost if she changes her mind and keeps the baby. Sometimes this can be up around $10,000 we would lose. We look to see if another agency is involved, because that brings the overall price up. We also want to know if her family is supportive of the adoption plan. There is a lot to consider when choosing to submit our profile book.

Now that we have submitted, it is a matter of waiting to see if we get selected. Then we will need to look over the additional information that we requested. Keep fingers crossed for us!!!
