LGBT Adoption: What Adoptive Parents Should Look For
- Commitment to Inclusivity: Despite the overall progress in recent years, the unfortunate truth is there are still adoption agencies, service providers, and other professionals out there with regressive ideals and discriminatory criteria. From LGBT adoption agencies to attorneys and other service providers, it’s important to thoroughly research your options and be sure whoever you decide to work with on your journey is committed to inclusivity.
- Knowledge of Legal & Regulatory Processes: LGBT adoption laws vary tremendously from state to state. When it comes time to retain the services of an adoption attorney, it’s important to choose one who is LGBT-friendly and understands the legal processes around adoption for gay couples and LGBT parents. They will be well-versed in the applicable laws of the states involved and will provide appropriate guidance through the adoption process.
- A Solid Support System: The adoption journey can be emotional and challenging at times. It’s important prospective LGBT adoptive families have a dependable support system in place as they navigate the highs and lows of the adoption process.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Prospective LGBT adoptive parents deserve to be treated with respect and understanding throughout their journey. In their search for a professional partner to work with on their path to adoption, prospective adoptive families should ensure they choose an organization well-versed in LGBT culture.
These are just a few of the considerations prospective parents should explore when looking into LGBT adoption. While there are many nuances, choosing to build a family, regardless of what that family looks like, is a beautiful journey. At LifeLong Adoptions, we’re here to support you every step of the way, offering our expertise and services, so you can fulfill your dream of building your family.
