Adoption Tolerances

Making Decisions:  As you begin you adoption search, there will be many decisions that must be made. Many of these decisions will be gut-wrenching, heart-wrenching, and life-changing.

Because of the importance of these decisions, IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU MAKE THEM WITHOUT the pressure of a looming “adoption birth situation”.

Adoption Tolerances - Difficult but Important Decisions

Adoption tolerances represent decisions each adopting parent must make and agree to PRIOR to being placed in the emotionally charged “adoption birth” situation. These tolerances include health issues of the Birthmom and child, your threshold for “openness” of your adoption, and your tolerance for financial commitments.

You must openly discuss the following issues together and come to some agreement as to your “adoption tolerances”. 

The following are three of the “tolerances” you will need to consider when planning your adoption.

• Birthmom and Child Adoption Tolerances
• Adoption Openness Tolerance
• Financial Adoption Tolerances
