United States/Domestic Adoption Program: Our Families

Expectant parents are actively involved in the process of selecting an adoptive family. Profiles of adoptive parents are presented to the expectant parents, generally based upon specific requests made by the expectant parents.

This program is an option for both married and single applicants. Most newborns are placed with parents living in an area where WHFC provides home study services. On rare occasions, a child may be placed with a family outside of our home study service area.
