Adoptive Parent faq

Yes, a small percentage of our 'Wait List' families are out of state. We require our out-of-state families to use a licensed adoption agency in their state, even if their state law does not require it.

This is an adoption where the birth family has identified you specifically as the adoptive family for their child. The birth parents can be in Colorado or another state. The birth parents MUST contact Adoption Dreams Come True to start this process. If you are in contact with a birth parent and are interested in being part of their designated adoption, please contact us and one of our case workers will assist you.

We wish we could give you a concrete answer but the time frame, after completing your home study, can vary from 6 months to 3 years or longer or you may not be selected at all. This variance is due to the fact that birth parents select you. The agency only selects the longest waiting family if the birth parents do not wish to make the choice themselves.

We offer a free consultation. Please call the office at 970-493-2557 to schedule.

Adoption Dreams Come True has a process in place that allows us to maintain a strong commitment to excellence as we serve our adoptive families.Step 1 is a free consultation at our Fort Collins office, or by telephone if you are unable to make it to Fort Collins. We will answer your questions and provide you with materials explaining our process and fees.  These consultations are individual and not done in a group meeting.Step 2 is to be added to our “Wait List”. There is no obligation to be on this list but it does assign you a number to determine your position as we move families forward to be on the “Active List”.Step 3 is the “Active List”. This list consists of 30 families who have completed the home study process or are going through the home study process to become a licensed adoptive family. When we have an opening to begin a new home study, we call the next in line from the “Wait List”.Step 4 is to include your new portfolio with all others on the “Active List” to show to birth parents for selection.
