The Hospital Stay [What You Need to Know]
Once you have taken care of everything before the hospital stay, you’ll be waiting for that day with intense anticipation. But, remember to stay relaxed and go with the flow at the hospital because multiple things must happen before you can legally take custody of your child.
For instance, you will need to wait for approval from the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) if you are adopting a child from a different state. No matter what state you live in and what state you decide to adopt, this is a requirement.
Emotional Hurdles as a Hopeful Adoptive Family
Adopting a child is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences imaginable. Still, that’s not to say that it doesn’t come with its emotional challenges every now and then. As a hopeful adoptive parent, you’ll have to zig and zag sometimes, so going with the flow, rather than going against the current, is often a great approach.
The prospective birth mother always has full control over their adoption journey, so it’s helpful for you to remember that and understand the overall journey from the birth mother’s perspective. Just as this is an incredibly emotional experience for you, it is also emotional for the prospective birth parent. So, going with the flow and understanding their circumstances can benefit everyone involved in the adoption process.

“We chose American Adoptions in large part because of the insurance policy, and then, secondarily, the number of placements,” said Cathy, an adoptive parent who worked with our agency. “We were looking at agencies that were smaller and closer to us, but the fact that we could get a placement potentially between three and nine months – and it ended up being less than that – those were definitely motivating factors.”
In other words, our agency has everything that you need for a successful adoption journey. You can go with the flow and rest easy with the knowledge that our team will guide you through each and every step of the process.
