Adoption Articles & Stories for Adoptive Parents

Family built with the help of Lifetime Adoption resources and articles laughs together

If you’ve decided that adoption is how you’re going to grow your family, it can be difficult to know where to start. If you’ve had any of the following thoughts:
“I don’t know how to get started with the adoption process.”
“We need to figure out how we’re going to afford adoption.”
“My wife is ready to adopt and getting excited, but I’m not sure about it.”
“We’re still trying to conceive.”
“We’re so ready to adopt, but we need to find the right adoption professional.” Then Lifetime’s articles are an excellent way to get started on your adoption research! We want to provide you with practical, easy-to-use information as you as you begin your adoption journey. That way, your questions about the process won’t hold you back. Additionally, reading these articles can help you organize what your next step in the adoption process will be! Moreover, they can help those already familiar with adoption to expand their understanding!
