What Types of People Are Looking to Adopt in Florida?
When you begin considering adoption for your baby, one of the most important steps is seeing the people who are ready to become parents. In Florida, there is no single "type" of person who chooses to adopt.
Instead, you will find a wide community of families, each with their own story and a deep commitment to raising a child. At American Adoptions of Florida, we work with a variety of people looking to adopt, all of whom have already been through a thorough vetting process.
Whether you want your child to grow up in a city like Miami or a quiet neighborhood in Tampa, we can help you find a family that matches what you're looking for. If you’re ready to see who is waiting, you can view waiting families right now.
Families Looking To Adopt in Florida
One of the most encouraging things to realize is that the families looking to adopt are as diverse as Florida itself. When you browse our profiles, you aren’t just looking at names on a list; you are seeing people who have spent years preparing to become parents.
In our network, you will find:
- Married couples who have spent years preparing to start their adoption journey.
- LGBTQ+ families who are a dedicated part of the Florida adoption community.
- Single women and men who have built strong support systems of their own.
- Families who already have children and want to give them a sibling.
Every person you see has passed a Florida home study. This means they have cleared federal fingerprinting, child abuse registry checks, and financial reviews. They are fully approved and ready for a placement right now.
Can I Choose The Type Of Family I Want For My Baby?
Yes. You have the right to be as specific as you want about the environment where your child will grow up. You can select a family based on the values and lifestyles that matter most to you.
You have the freedom to choose based on:
- Ethnicity and Culture: You can choose a family that shares your heritage or one committed to celebrating your child’s specific background.
- Religion: Whether you want a family that shares your faith or a more general spiritual outlook, you can filter for these values.
- Location: You decide if you want your child to stay in Florida or live in a different state. You can even find families near me specifically in your region.
- Lifestyle and Hobbies: You can look for families who value education, love to travel, or have specific interests that align with your hopes.
By viewing adoption video profiles, you can see these families in their own homes. Hearing them speak about their lives often helps you find a connection that a printed bio can’t provide.
How We Help You Choose the Right Family
Matching is a partnership between you and our specialists. We start by listening to what you want for your child’s future. If you want a family that lives near the beach or follows a specific parenting style, we will focus on showing you people who meet those exact criteria.
We provide support through every step of this. Choosing can feel overwhelming, so we move at your pace. If you do not find the right match within Florida, we can introduce you to out of state adoptive families to make sure you have the best possible options.
What Makes Our Families in Florida Safe And Ready
Every family on our site is "active," meaning they are legally and emotionally ready to accept a placement right now. In Florida, this includes a Level 2 background screening and FBI fingerprinting for every adult in the household.
Beyond the legal side, our families go through training to understand the needs of birth parents and how to talk to children about their adoption story in a healthy way. They aren't just safe on paper; they are prepared for the daily realities of being the parents your baby deserves.
What Happens After You Choose a Family
Once you find a family that feels right, the focus is on building a relationship on your terms. You are in control of how this looks—whether you want to talk over the phone, use video chat, or meet in person.
Once you have chosen a family and your adoption plan is moving forward, you may begin receiving financial assistance for pregnancy-related expenses like rent and medical bills, as allowed by Florida law. You will also work with your specialist to decide how much interaction the adoptive parents will have at the hospital.
How Open Adoption Works in Florida
Many women worry that choosing a family means a permanent goodbye. In Florida, most adoptions today are open or semi-open. This means you can choose to stay in touch through photos, letters, or visits.
Open adoption is about staying connected to your child's life. You get to see your child grow, and the adoptive parents get to share with your child how much you love them. You can discuss these contact options with any family you are considering.
