Adoption Questions to ask?

Question

Tomorrow a family is flying in to meet with me, this is the 1st couple I have looked at and want to meet as well. I'm just worried that I dont have alot of questions to ask. Can someone help me think of more? Thanks

Due in 27 days, I dont know if im just scared to interview these people or if Im just nervous. I'm not desperate even though im due in less than a month. I just want to find a good loving home for my child.

Answer 1

Ask them about themselves.

Like how they met, their first date, their wedding, how the celebrate their anniversary, how long they've been married. Also ask questions about their relationship. How the resolve arguments. Their key to making their marriage work.

Why think they they would be the best family for your child. How will they celebrate her birthdays. What will they tell her about you. How will they make sure she doesn't become spoiled and materalistic in this society.

Ask if they go to church regularly. What religion are they. Will they preserve her heritage (if they are of a different nationality/religion). Will they let you see the child at a designated time yearly (or more if you wish). Will they be honest with her about her adoption and what will they tell her about that.

Ask about their schooling. Ask about their jobs. And their drive for career growth. Are they satisfied with where they are so your daughter can have a loving family. Because, even if they are well off nothing can buy the love of a mom and dad.

I hope I've helped you!!

Good Luck :)))

first of all situations change everyday people loose their jobs sell their homes change insurance pets come and go life changes daily the best thing to do is meet with them see how they interact with each other and and with you if their interested in your questions and sincerely care about each other and you then I'm sure they will care for and love your child if your planing on an open adoption discuss all the details up front such as pictures letters cards or even phone calls ask if they have any other children or plan to have any or if they plan on future adoptions. this is a very scary situation for every one involved for you you need to be sure that your baby is going to a loving secure home and they need to be sure that this baby will be joining their family I am an adoptive mother of two so been there done that on the receiving end and I can tell you it is very nerve racking but rewarding in the end. I couldn't love my children any more than if I had given birth my self and I am thankful for all those women that have made that sacrifice so that myself and others can be mommies and daddies thank you again and best wishes to you

Answer 3

First of all I would like to say Thank you for choosing to share you child with a family that will love him or her. You are a very loving mommy to do this. It is hard. I was 15 when I got pregnant and I too wanted to adopt but I couldn't. You are brave. The questions I would ask are normal things.
Why do you want my baby?
What can you give my baby?
Are there other kids in the home?
Can I send birthday, Christmas,etc... cards?
What are you going to tell the baby about me?
Can you provide for this child?
Will you love it like I love it?
What are religious beliefs?
Do you have a strong family or support system?
What does your family think?
These are just a few questions but I'm sure there are more and you have all the time to ask them. Good Luck

Answer 4

I would ask if the mom will be staying home or working, if working how many hours. What their financial situation is like, if they have, want other children, if they will tell the child they are adopted, if you can write a note of explinantion to the child to be read later & if it would be given to your child. How they disipline, health & dental insurance etc. Good Luck

Answer 5

I had to study your question two times to comprehend what you have been announcing. If the artificial the remark and then asked you in case you agreed, you have been basically purely declaring the info inspite of the certainty which you will have basically replied "particular" or "no".yet, if the different guy or woman's emotions have been harm provided that they did no longer get flirted with, perhaps they might desire to have asked you some greater questions and found out some innovations from you. while you're pals with this guy or woman, i might flow decrease back and tell them which you probably did no longer mean to harm their emotions via expressing your opinion.

Answer 6

there work hours
discipline
other children
family values
drug or alcohol problems in the family
how they will handle the child looking for you latter
family arrest history

i hope any of this helps

Answer 7

Does the parents of the baby have any genetic diseases?
How old are the parents?
What is the Birth influence of birth order is this child?
R they willing to sign the papers (saying that they will never come bk for their baby)?

Answer 8

ask them what they think of spanking, what are they planning on telling the child about his/her biological mommy, what are their relationships like with their parents and siblings. Do they have other kids? Do they think they could love this one like their own? what are their reasons for adopting? will they give you a written statement that says that you can contact the child later.

Answer 9

Are you meeting them so that you can give your child good parents?

Or are you meeting them because you want good adoptive parents yourself.
