Adoption Agencies in Pomona, CA

If you’re considering domestic adoption in Pomona, you have the option of working with a national or local agency. Both national and local agencies offer great services that are beneficial to the overall success and experience of your adoption. Choosing which type to work with ultimately depends on which you are most comfortable with and which option best aligns with the goals for your adoption in Pomona.

National adoption agencies can help you complete an adoption in Pomona from beginning to end. Because of their ability to offer services from start to finish and locate adoption opportunities in a shorter period of time, national agencies are generally preferred over local ones

Foster Care Adoption in Pomona

Foster care adoption is another great way to add to your family.

When a child is placed in the California foster care system, they do not become eligible for adoption unless their biological parents lose their parental rights. The child will be placed with a foster family until social services can determine the next steps.

The primary goal of foster care is to reunite the child with their parents, but this is not always possible. Foster care adoption is a great opportunity to provide a child a new start, with a safe and loving home.

Foster children range in age, gender and race; come from sibling groups; or may have special needs. Those considering becoming a foster parent or fostering to adopt should contact the following local resources:

International Adoption in Pomona

For an adoptive parent hoping to adopt a child from another country, working with one of the international adoption agencies in Pomona would be the best place to start.

Because of the strict rules and regulations in place for international adoption, a Hague-accredited agency will keep you on track. But, before making any decisions, you need to determine the country from which you would like to adopt. This will determine which agencies are able to help you achieve your goals of intercountry adoption.

For more information, contact Family Connections Christian Adoptions or Nightlight Christian Adoptions, the California international adoption agencies nearest to Pomona.

Pomona Adoption Lawyers

Pomona Hospitals for Maternity Care and Delivery

For expectant mothers creating an adoption plan with American Adoptions, creating a hospital plan will be part of the adoption process. Finding the best hospital to deliver your child is important. Ironing out the details of delivery prior to giving birth is equally as important.

Having a hospital plan will help eliminate any stress or confusion when the time comes. Your hospital plan will address:

  • Who you would like in the room
  • If you would like to have interaction with the adoptive family
  • Who will hold the baby first
  • How much time you want alone with the baby
  • And more

Your adoption specialist will answer any questions or concerns you may have about the time prior, to, during and after delivery.

Local Pomona hospitals you might consider for your maternity needs include:

Pomona Adoption Finalization Courts

Adoptions in Pomona will need to be finalized in your local circuit court. Adoptive families are often required to be in attendance.

During your adoption finalization hearing, a judge will review all documentation and information acquired from your home study. They will ask you multiple questions to understand how you and your child are adapting to your new placement. Once the judge approves, a final decree of adoption will be issued. At this point, your child will legally be recognized as a member of your family and your adoption will be complete.

You can learn more about where you’ll be finalizing your Pomona adoption at the Los Angeles County Circuit Court Clerk website.
