does anyone know the qualification for adoption
2007-06-22 14:11:01 · 9 answers · asked by ddd c 1 in Pregnancy & Parenting ➔ Adoption
I would recommend contacting a local reputable adoption agency for more information. The reason that I suggest this is that every agency has their own set of guidelines and regulations. Also some states may vary in their qualifications for adoption. And if you are looking to adopt internationally, each country has their own rules & regulations. Unfortunately, while your question seems like it should be relatively easy to answer, it's actually dependent on the type of adoption you are looking for. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

1. Stable career - Not just a job, but stable, progressively more successful employment and income.
2.
Stable work history -- No jumping from job to job for 3 months at a time.
3. Stable home life Not living pilar to post, but in the same home, whether than be house or apartment, for years.
4. Mental Health -- No major illnesses here, but occasional depression that was treated, o.k., for example, unless you are adopting overseas, which now prohibits mental illnesses in China and Russia.
5. Physical Health -- Reasonable life expectancy, and the ability to effectively and safely care for and supervise a child.
6. Emotional Health -- Already have dealt with infertility, if that is an issue, and are not still really hoping for a bio child!
7. Support of family/friends -- They know you are adopting, and love the idea! If you are adopting transracially, or from outside of your country, they are very supportive, and not prejudiced! Very important for the child!
8. Sufficient income to support a family without any struggle, including purchasing good medical and life insurance, paying your bills, saving money for emergencies, saving for your child's college education, etc.
9. No arrests -- Some people may get approved if it was a "light" offense 20 years ago and there have been no problems since. Case by case basis. No offenses against a person -- rape, sexual assault, child neglect or abuse, etc.
10. No addictions -- If used to have an active addiction, and you are now in AA, for example, must be able to document that.
11. Spiritual or religious life -- You don't have to be religious, but it is preferred by some birthmothers domestically.
12. Solid self identity -- Confidence in who you are so you can be your child's biggest fan and advocate! Adoption sometimes does create some issues your child may have to deal with. Transracial or Foreign adoption may create even more issues for your child to handle. You will be your child's first role model for how to handle this. You must have a healthy self esteem to model tolerance, patience, and boundaries!

It completely depends on the state and agency or attorney. Every state and agency/attorney is different.
