Confidential Adoption Form for Older Children

Whether you’re unable to parent another child, having financial struggles, or wish to give your child more than what you can offer right now, adoption can be a positive, loving choice. No matter your situation, you’re not alone, and open adoption gives you many options.

Most of Lifetime’s adoptions are of newborns and infants, although we do work with adoptive parents seeking to adopt a toddler, preschool-aged child, or a child up to seven years old.

This adoption form for older children allows us to gather some basic info from you to help you learn more about the adoption process for your child (or children).

It’s not legally binding; it helps us provide you information on waiting families who are ready and approved to adopt your child. Everything you tell us about yourself and your adoption is confidential and private.

If you are not ready to fill out the form yet, you can learn more about the adoption process here.

You can email, talk to, text with, and even meet the adoptive parents before making your final decision. You can even get to know more than one family if you like.

You can choose the type of contact you would like after the adoption. This can be photos, phone calls, email, text, social media connections, and even visits! This contact lets you stay in touch with the parents and your child. If you would prefer no contact, that is your choice too. (Contact may be especially important to you if considering adoption for an older child!)

Choosing adoption for a child can be a difficult decision. We will help you each step of the way with free counseling, 24 hour support, and more. If you have questions about this adoption form for older children, please call or text us at 1.800.923.6784 any time.
