Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Season 2, Episode 179- Will Someone Want to Adopt My Baby If... When adoptive families come into our program, they fill out a preference sheet, very similar to a preference sheet that you, as a birth mother will fill out.  In the adoptive families’ preference sheet they will select if they will accept substance exposure and which substances, along with a range of questions.  The reason for a preference sheet is so we make sure an adoptive family is placed with a baby that they can handle should any issues arise If you are pregnant, regardless of the situation- we can help.  There are adoptive families that are wanting and willing to adopt your baby.  Your baby can have the life you want him or her to have.  So, if you are pregnant and are considering adoption, we are a licensed, full-service, non-profit Arizona Adoption Agency.  We believe in adoption aftercare services and have a program on site to provide continued support through the Donna K. Evans Foundation.  You can contact us 24/7 at (623) 695-4112.
