With the internet playing a greater role in the ability to connect with expectant mothers, it has become more important for you to make and share your adoption profile online.
More and more expectant mothers are looking all over the internet to find families who want to adopt. Some even choose a family before they contact an adoption agency or attorney.
In our second adoption journey, our son’s birthparents found us online. They were able to read all about us and watch the profile video we put together. They knew a lot about us even before contacting our agency.
So creating an online profile is important. Actually, I’d say it is necessary. You need to know how and where to put your profile online – so you can stand out from the crowd.
Here are the trusted websites where you can put your infant adoption profile online so you can connect faster with expectant mothers.
Adoptimist.com
This is a fantastic pay-as-you-go, no contracts to sign online profile service. I HIGHLY recommend Adoptimist because they have some unique and exceptional adoption marketing tools that will connect you with expectant women who are looking to make an adoption plan. They can help you adopt faster – especially using their amazing Premium service – which is where most of the connections and adoptions happen.
3 Reasons Why You Should Sign Up With Adoptimist:
- They are experts at services we need (internet marketing, social media, etc). Their experience, resources and technologies will consistently get your profile in front of as many eyes as possible. That kind of consistent exposure is hard to come by.
- Families are making connections daily on the site. You can read their success stories on their blog like Kelly & Brett. They had a Premium plan for 2 months. They said, “We matched with a birthmother in just 4 1/2 weeks! And we ONLY used your site; we didn’t have an agency, just an attorney on standby.”
- Premium members get a special guide to help you use their service in the best way – to give you the best shot at making a fast connection. This amazing guide shares what they do for you as a premium member – meaning how they put your profile out into the web and social media – while also providing tips on how to best use these premium services.
BOTTOM LINE: This is a small investment to help make a faster adoption connection. Full disclosure – I personally know the creators of Adoptimist.com. I talk about them, share their service with you and recommend them to you because I know, like and truest them. They help make adoption connections easier, faster, and with less hassle than ever before.
