Finding a Jehovah’s Witness Family Ready to Adopt 

Jehovah’s Witnesses are very open and accepting of adoption, viewing it as legitimately making someone a member of the family to which they have been adopted. American Adoptions works with families of all religious backgrounds and can work with you to make sure you find a family that fits your exact needs and specifications, including a Jehovah’s Witness family ready to adopt. 

Many women who are looking for a Jehovah’s Witness family to adopt a baby do so because it’s important to them that their child be raised with some of the following principles that aren’t frequently practiced by other religions: 

• The family does not accept blood transfusions. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that both the Old and New Testaments say to abstain from taking blood and go to doctors who can practice medicine and surgery without giving blood transfusions. 

• The family believes the Bible outlines different dating guidelines than common modern-day practices. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that dating should only be for those old enough for marriage, that Witnesses should only date baptized Witnesses, and that sexual immorality or “unclean” behavior should be avoided. Couples should also avoid being alone in tempting situations. 

• The family believes that the dead are unconscious. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that someone who dies ceases to exist, although resurrection from God is possible. 

• The family does not celebrate birthdays or holidays like Christmas or Easter. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that birthday celebrations displease God and that Christmas and Easter celebrations do not align with Biblical teachings. 

If it important to you that your child be raised with these beliefs — whether because they are similar to your own or because the Jehovah’s Witness faith attracts you for other reasons — American Adoptions can help you in your journey of looking for Jehovah’s Witness family to adopt your baby.  

The best way to find the perfect adoptive family is to work closely with your own individual American Adoptions adoption specialist. She will work to understand your religious beliefs and help to work through with you how Jehovah’s Witness give a baby up for adoption, as well as ask you some other questions about your preferences in adoptive families. These may include: 

• Do you want your child to grow up with siblings? Some women prefer to place their babies with families who haven’t been able to have children of their own, while other women feel strongly about their child being guaranteed siblings. 

• Is where your child lives important to you? American Adoptions works with families across the country, so if it’s important to you that your baby is raised in a certain region, that can be accommodated. 

• Does it matter to you if your child looks like his or her adoptive parents? Of course, your baby will not share DNA with his or her adoptive parents, but some women feel strongly about their children being raised by adoptive parents who share their own family’s cultural background and heritage. 

Questions to Ask in a Jehovah’s Witness Adoption 

Once you’ve found a family that seems promising, it will be time to get to know them better through pre-placement contact arranged by your social worker. It can be intimidating to get to know your baby’s prospective adoptive parents, so consider asking questions like the following to kick things off: 

• What drew you to the Jehovah’s Witness faith? Were you born into a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses, or did you convert later on?

• What is your religious community like? 

• Why are the Jehovah’s Witness values important to you? 

• What is your religious background like? What was your experience growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness? 

• How do you plan to teach your children about the Jehovah’s Witness faith? 

You can use this tool on our website to search for Jehovah’s Witness families, but please don’t be discouraged if you don’t find the perfect family using this feature. As we have an expansive network of hopeful adoptive families throughout the United States, many are in various stages of the screening process and aren’t quite to the stage where their profiles appear online. 

Adoption is a decision based on love and wanting what’s best for your child. Adoption is never giving up; it’s creating a more hopeful future for everyone involved, especially your child. That makes you a hero.  

Scott Mars, founder of American Adoptions, and an adoptee himself knows the importance of adoption and how it can positively change the lives of everyone involved.  

“My mom and dad were a couple who weren’t able to become a mom and dad without adoption. Of all people in this world, my mom and dad deserve to be parents. And without adoption, they would not have been able to share their love, share their life, and give someone the life that I had.      

“Because of adoption, my life was filled with love and opportunity.”  You can watch Scott’s video to see his entire adoption story.
