Post Placements- Adoption Institute of Colorado

Post-Placement

Once you bring the baby home, you will be required to participate in three post-placement visits. These typically take place in your home. Your Social Worker will come out to visit you at two weeks, three months, and finally six months. Post-placement visits are needed to file your finalization documents with the court. The purpose of these visits is to assess with you how things are going in your home. The social worker writes a report and recommendations about your readiness, and your child’s, for legalization to occur.

Post-placements are not supposed to be stressful. Post-placement visits are incredibly special to us because we love to visit your family after birth. We enjoy seeing everyone in your family step into their new roles. Visits are short where we get updates from you. You are also welcome to ask any questions you may have during these visits. When you adopt through us you become a part of the AIC family and we'll always be here to support yo

Profile Book

You will also complete your profile book that can be presented to birth mothers. A profile book is a snapshot of your family. This is the book that will be presented to your birth parent(s) to help them decide on you as their adoptive couple. This is especially important and must be done well. We will give you detailed instructions to help you complete your profile book.
Once matched with an expectant parent AIC will assist you and the birth parent(s) in communication and planning. Your adoption caseworker will guide you and the prospective birthmother to make all the necessary decisions in preparation for the baby’s arrival.
