Facebook has reported there are over 500 million daily active users. There is no doubt that it is affecting the way we all communicate. Many adoption agencies are starting to use Facebook to reach out to birthmothers – and why not? With so many millions of daily users that stretch all across the U.S., Facebook can help speed up the adoption process. 
Here are some ways you can use Facebook on your infant adoption journey:
1. Create a Facebook page for your adoption.
By putting your information on a special page, you are creating another way to connect with an expectant mother considering adoption. This is a great way to present your profile on a social media platform that has the ability to reach so many potential birthmothers. You may even come across someone who knows a potential birthmother.
Here’s a couple who found a birthmother through Facebook.

2. Join an adoption support group.
I have found it incredibly helpful to be a part of a support group. Facebook can help you connect with other adoptive families.
- Join our private Facebook Support Group ONLY for people (like you) who are hoping to adopt a baby in U.S. OR who have already adopted. Our amazing group will help you get the inspiration, guidance and support you need directly from those who have been there or are on the same journey as you.
- You can also search for adoption groups in the area that you live. In the Facebook search line, type “California adoption support” or “adoption support in California”.
