Our use of the terms “putting up” or “giving up” does not reflect how we feel about adoptive placement. These terms remain the most widely used search terms for those who are considering adoption for their baby, and we wish to reach all who seek this important information.
We prepared this page to provide information for those who are considering adoption and live in or near Long Beach, California or in the Los Angeles County region. If you are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption, we have collected information about Crisis Pregnancy Resource Centers to help you confirm your pregnancy, clinics where you may get affordable prenatal care, and a list of hospitals with a Labor and Delivery department.
If you are in the Los Angeles County region of California and are considering adopting a baby, we also have information on this page about home study agency resources and helpful information to assist you with the adoption process.
Additional resources for hopeful adoptive parents or expectant mothers and throughout the state of California may be found on our California Adoption Information page.
One of the key aspects of every adoption process is the home study assessment. The purpose of a home study is to confirm the capability and stability of prospective Adoptive Parents to have a child placed into their home. There are certain Adoption Home Study Requirements for each state. The process usually includes providing documents to confirm information as well as furnishing family history, health and financial information, and personal background. Here are some legally qualified home study providers licensed to conduct home studies for those who live in Long Beach, California or the Los Angeles County region:
