Adoptive Parent Profile Book Design Services: 

Why is the Parent Profile crucial in a domestic adoption? The Adoption Profile serves as the bridge between hopeful adoptive parent/s and expectant mothers or couples considering an adoption plan for their child. It's the tool through which those expectant mothers/couples choose the adoptive parents, a process often unfamiliar to those outside the adoption community. The adoption profile is presented in a book or magazine format, both hard copy and electronic, and provides a glimpse into the lives of prospective adoptive families (single or married couples) — their journey, values, and aspirations. While in-person meetings in the initial stages are rare, these profiles, usually presented in printed book format, offer a comprehensive view of the adoptive family's background, lifestyle, and reasons for choosing adoption. Including unique details adds depth to these profiles, often influencing the expectant family's decision-making process.

With over 20 years in the field of adoption, Adoption Home Studies of Colorado understands all members of the Adoption Triad (birth parents, adopted parents, adoptee) and will help you highlight who you are, what you believe in, and the life you offer to a child, designed in a manner that is informative, emotional, and attractive to expectant women/couples looking for the "right someone" to adopt their child. Under recommendations by AHSC, you provide us with your photos and bio and we will create an attractive magazine-style parent profile book (including print and electronic versions) for use during your adoption.  Email for cost, process and to get started: Inquire about Parent Profile Design Services
