Why Finding Families with a Good Father Might Be Important

If you’re seeking a family for your child, then finding one with a present, caring father figure is significant. A good father contributes to a child's emotional, mental and social development. His presence not only offers stability and security but also fosters a nurturing environment crucial for a child's growth.

Families with a good father looking to adopt might be important to you if:

  • Your father wasn’t present in your life or as involved as you would’ve liked.

  • Your child’s birth father is uninvolved or unknown.

  • You and your baby’s father are not together and you want your child to grow up in a two-parent household.

Finding adoptive families with a good father ensures your child will have what you didn’t or what their birth father couldn’t provide.

Birth mothers prioritize families with a good father because they understand that this figure plays a pivotal role in shaping a child's character, providing guidance, support and love that contribute to a child's future well-being and happiness.

Types of Families with a Good Father

Families with a good father can come in all forms. What makes a father “good” may vary from one person’s opinion to the next. But if finding an adoptive family with a good father figure is important to you, the types of families that might fit your preferences are:

  • Married couples looking to adopt: If you chose adoption for your baby because you want your child to have a two-parent home, then a married couple could be a family with a good father for your baby.

  • Same-sex couples looking to adopt: Maybe finding adoptive families with a good father has less to do with your child being raised by two parents and more to do with your child having positive male role models. Choosing a same-sex gay couple is a way you can give your baby a family with a good father, times two!

  • Religious adoptive families: There are many adoptive families who practice religions that emphasize the value of being a good father.

  • Families with strong cultural family values: Certain cultures have strong family values and promote showing up as the best parent you can be for your child.

The Adoption Specialist will be your advocate and will provide support and guidance as you create an adoption plan that is right for you.

How will the family tell my child about me and the adoption when my child is older?

Each family has their own style of introducing adoption to the child. When you are matched with an adoptive family, you can ask them this question. If you would like your Adoption Specialist to discuss it for you, just let her know. He or she can share your wishes or provide good ideas from other adoptive families.

You will also be able to share what you want your baby to know about you. You can complete a keepsake booklet to share hobbies, stories, photos of you and your family and a letter to your baby. The adoptive family can provide this to your child as he or she grows older. Be as creative as you like! Some birth mothers have even knitted a special blanket as a gift to their baby or given a similar symbol of their love.

The father of your baby can fill out the birth father's keepsake booklet or write a letter too. You may have other family members who would also like to share photos or a letter to the baby. This is your opportunity to pass on your and your family's love and to share your personality, history and reasons for choosing adoption. The adoptive family will treasure whatever information you provide and will share it with the baby at an appropriate age. In most adoptive homes, the word adoption is in the child's vocabulary early on, and adoption is celebrated in their lives.
