Can You Adopt A Newborn Baby

A few states require temporary cradle care before placing the baby with the adoptive family members.

Can you adopt a newborn baby.

The truth is in the numbers. However newborn adoption does refer to something specific. Infant adoptions are very common. Other types of adoption like foster care and international adoption cannot always promise families a newborn.

And in most cases of domestic infant adoptions the baby will be discharged directly from the hospital to you the adoptive family. On average american adoptions completes the adoptions of 300 healthy newborn babies per year. And can take anywhere from six months to several years. You may be able to adopt a young baby but international protocols brought in by the hague convention to protect children would normally prevent a child from being adopted so immediately after birth.

In cases involving infant or newborn adoption the birth parent or parents may have a say in who the adoptive parents will be which could slow down the process a bit. It depends but generally speaking when adopting a newborn the baby can be between 24 hours old to three days old.

We offer the most affordable adoption programs in the country. Even more specific than that the vast majority of newborn adoptions occur at the hospital shortly following birth.
