If you've begun your adoption process, you're most likely registered with at least one adoption agency/organization. That's a great start and one with a lot of potential. But to really increase your odds of finding an expectant mother, there are a number of other steps you can take to try and find an expectant mother on your own. For some specific suggestions, you can read through our Teeny Peanut Profile and Outreach Tips.
Marketing Materials
It may sound cold, but the reality is that you're marketing yourself to expectant mothers/parents, hoping that you can "sell" yourself and have them select you. The primary reason for your marketing is to let people know that you're wanting to adopt. There are many ways that you can market yourself amongst people you know and in ways where you don't know your audience. We've developed some marketing outreach materials that could be helpful in your search. If you find you need something not shown, just contact us and we can develop whatever you may need.
