Birthparents who work with Adoption Circle choose how they select an adoptive family.

Some birthparents choose to review profiles written by the prospective adoptive parents, while others will requst that the agency select an adoptive family. If you choose to read profiles you will have the opportunity to learn about different adoptive families and their lives including their strengthes and weakness, occupations and education, hobbies and leisure activities, courtship, marriage and family life, religion, home and neighborhood, infertility issues and various other topic areas that describe the adoptive family. By getting to know the families through their profiles you are able to select a family with a similar lifestyle and interests. You also are able to select the religion and where your child will be raised (in Ohio or another state). Once you select a prospective adoptive family you have the opportunity to meet with them or talk with them over the telephone, if more openness is desired in your adoption plan.
