Going through the adoption process isn’t a walk in the park. It can be filled with stress and anxiety as much as it is filled with excitement and love. And to help you navigate this journey, you will need to have certain individuals who can help you.

 

This is why I truly recommend having three important people in your “team” to help you go through the process as informed, knowledgeable, and sane as possible.

 

If you’re going through the adoption process right now, already start to ook for people who are willing to support you in this journey. It won’t be easy because you’ll need to fit the right fit for you. So starting early will be an advantage on your end.

 

 

When you are

[04:14] The first thing that is really important is to have a good paediatrician. Look for someone who is willing to accept you and a partner that is relevant to be part of this process with you.

[05:24] Having a paediatrician can help you be properly informed about medical things that can come up during the adoption process.

[10:15] The second person you will also need is a counselor or psychologist for yourself that understands infertility and adoption. Someone you can talk to and process your feelings with and help manage your stress and anxiety during this time will be beneficial for you. This person can really help support you in your journey.

[13:13] The third person is a private attorney outside of an agency or, if you’re working with an attorney, having another attorney who specializes in adoption law in your team is important too. Adoption is a risk. Someone who can help you understand and guide you through the laws and rights you need to know.

[15:47] When you are going through this you are going to be emotionally vulnerable and wanting that baby very much. Having these three people to guide you will be so important. You are emotionally invested going through this and you need people on the outside who understand the other pieces of it that are hard to look at when all you want to do is become a mom.
