What services do you provide?
Our domestic adoption consulting service includes marketing/advertising, assistance in designing a personal profile, networking and presentation of profile to birth parents, adoption agencies, adoption attorneys, and other adoption professionals until the families are connected in a successful adoption plan. The duration of the agreement is two (2) years from the date the Consulting Agreement is signed.

Because we are a licensed agency, One World Adoption Services has hundreds of contacts with adoption agencies, facilitators, attorneys, and other adoption professionals. As a prospective family, you will benefit from all of the resources available in our network, rather than limiting yourself to the options available at any one agency.

Once a match has been made, the adoption will then proceed with a licensed agency and/or attorney. We will help you locate an agency in your state that we work with if you do not have a home study.

Why use your services?
Using an adoption consultant often results in a shorter wait time. Many adoptions are complete in 6 to 12 months. We will provide you with an extensive adoption guide that explains the different options available to you, frequently asked questions, financing resources, education on a variety of adoption related topics, and how to avoid pitfalls and birthparent fraud. Beginning an adoption can be daunting task, and many parents dont know where to begin. Let us use our expertise to guide you through the process.We'll be here for you every step of the way!

What is the cost involved?
We charge a fee for services provided which is due with the signed Consulting Agreement. Our fee for this service is $2,000. Additional expenses vary on a case by case basis and may include expenses such as agency fees, attorney's fees, birthmother expenses, and travel expenses. Costs for a domestic adoption can range from $5,000 to $30,000+. We recommend setting an adoption budget and will work with you regardless of you can afford..

Where do the children come from?
Many of our contacts come from professional relationships with agencies, attorneys, the internet, personal referrals, hospitals, churches, physicians, crisis pregnancy centers, newspaper ads, schools, and yellow pages.

What information will I receive on the birthmother?
The birthmother commonly fills out medical forms and sigs a release allowing the agency or attorney assisting the adoptive parents access to her medical records. You may obtain information from the birthmother concerning medical and social history (including drug, tobacco, and alcohol use before and during the pregnancy), and the whereabouts of the alleged and presumed birthfather.

What is open adoption?
Essentially, this means that there will be some form of communication between the birth parent(s) and the adoptive parent(s). This can range from the birthmother choosing the couple she wishes to place her baby with and exchanging some form of communication with them, to an agreement to allow the birthmother to receive photos, letters, or even visits with the family. Sometimes birthparents and families request a closed adoption and do not wish to have any contact.

How long does it take to adopt?
The time to a successful match typically ranges from anywhere between 2 months to 12 months. The more flexible you are on issues such as age, gender, race, and adoption expenses - chances are that you will be matched much sooner. Depending on how far along the birthmother is in her pregnancy, the adoption could take an additional 8 months to complete once a match has been made.

Is there a fee to apply for your program?
There is no fee for you to fill out our application. You can download the application on our website, or you can request one to be sent to you.

Do we need a home study before we contract with you?
You will need a home study to complete your adoption, however you will not need one before you contract with us. You can work on your home study while we are searching for adoption situations for you.

Do you have a waiting list?
No. Adoptive families will be presented with every appropriate situation that we find for them, regardless of whether they just began the process of have been waiting.

Who can apply?
We understand that families come in all shapes and sizes. Because of this, we have fewer restrictions than most adoption agencies.  We have no requirements based on age, religious belief, number of children in the home, or sexual orientation.

How do we get accepted into the program?
We will review your application and determine if your family's situation and preferences for adoption are something we can help you with. We will contact you within 72 hours to notify you of our decision. Because we do not charge an application fee for this program, there is no risk in applying.

Are all families successful in adopting?
There are no guarantees in adoption, however, many families that utilize the services of a networking agency are successful in their endeavor to adopt. We work very hard to make sure that every family has a successful adoption!
