Helpful Information
“I’m Thinking of Giving My Native American Child Up for Adoption… What Happens Next?”
The race of your baby and their prospective adoptive family has no impact on the amount of love that exists within a family. Transracial adoptions are more common than ever, and you can find families with American Adoptions of many different races who are excited to adopt a child of any ethnic background.
However, you may be concerned about specifically finding families wanting to adopt Native American children.
Some reasons that other pregnant women of Native heritage have cited include:
-
Wanting to ensure that the adoptive family is prepared to raise your child in a way that respects their birth culture.
-
Wanting to find a racially- and culturally-conscious adoptive family that will be mindful of your child’s identity as a Native American.
-
Wanting to adhere to tribal laws and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) when selecting adoptive parents for your child.
While many diverse families are prepared to welcome a child of any racial heritage, you may be specifically searching for families looking to adopt American Indian kids, perhaps for reasons like those mentioned above.
No matter what you’re looking for in a potential adoptive family, we’ll help you find a family that matches that vision you have for your child. We’ll also help you navigate the ICWA process because you must be able to choose the family that you feel is right for your child, regardless of the race of the adoptive family.
Every decision that’s made in the adoption process belongs to you and you alone. We’re here to help you turn your adoption plan into action.
