Can I Choose a Faith-Based or LGBTQ+ Family for My Baby?

Yes — you have the right to choose the family that feels right to you.

When you make an adoption plan with Adoption Network Law Center (ANLC), one of the most empowering parts of the process is the ability to select who you want to raise your baby — based on your values, beliefs, and preferences.

Whether you’re looking for a family that shares your faith or hoping to choose an LGBTQ+ couple, your voice and your vision are what guide this journey.

What Kinds of Families Can I Choose From?

ANLC works with a wide variety of adoptive families, including:

• Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other faith-based families
• LGBTQ+ couples and individuals
• Single parents
• Families with biological or adopted children
• Families of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds
• Urban, suburban, and rural families from across the U.S.

Every family we work with is:

Home study approved
Legally ready to adopt
Emotionally prepared to honor your adoption plan
Chosen by you — never assigned

Can I Request Specific Qualities?

Yes. Your adoption advisor will ask about what matters most to you. You can request families who:

• Practice a specific religion
• Share your racial or cultural background
• Support LGBTQ+ inclusion
• Live in a certain region or state
• Are child-free or already have children
• Value open communication and emotional connection

We’ll present families that match your preferences and respect your wishes.

What If I Want to Choose a Same-Sex Couple?

That’s absolutely your choice.

ANLC proudly works with many LGBTQ+ families who are:

• Legally ready to adopt
• Experienced in parenting or excited to become parents
• Open to all types of adoption plans
• Respected, compassionate, and fully committed

If you’re considering placing with an LGBTQ+ family, we can share real profiles, stories, and testimonials so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

What If I Want a Faith-Based Family?

We work with many adoptive families who hold strong religious beliefs and want to raise their child in a faith-filled home.

If religion is important to you — whether it’s Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or another tradition — let us know. We’ll help match you with families who honor those values and share your commitment to spiritual upbringing.

Can I Speak With the Family Before Deciding?

Yes. Once you see a family you’re interested in, you can:

• Set up a call or video chat
• Ask them questions about their lifestyle, beliefs, and parenting approach
• Decide if they feel like the right fit
• Or, request a confidential placement without direct contact

It’s 100% your decision — with no pressure either way.

Key Adoption Agency Considerations

Choosing who will raise your child is one of the most personal decisions you’ll ever make. At ANLC, we make sure that you choose the family — based on what matters to you.

Whether that’s a two-dad household, a faith-filled couple in the Midwest, or a single parent with a big heart — we’re here to help you find the family that feels right.
