Will My Baby Find a Loving Home? Here’s the Answer
Yes. Every baby placed for private domestic adoption is adopted. There are more hopeful adoptive families than there are babies placed for adoption, meaning your child will find a loving home.
Some birth mothers worry: “What happens if nobody adopts my baby?” The reality is that there is always a family waiting. Adoption agencies carefully screen adoptive families, ensuring that every child placed for adoption is welcomed into a loving and prepared home.

Will My Baby Go to Foster Care? Here’s What Really Happens
No. Choosing private adoption means your baby will not go to foster care. Instead, you have the power to select a family, and the adoption is arranged privately.
Foster care usually occurs in cases where the state intervenes due to concerns about a child’s welfare. If you voluntarily place your baby for adoption, they will go directly to a permanent adoptive home without entering the foster system.
With foster-to-adopt situations, there are children who will wait many years to find the right adoptive family. But, if you choose adoption for your baby, even after you’ve given birth, your child will not enter the foster care system — unless a case was opened concerning your child before birth. Even then, choosing private adoption may allow you to pick a family for your baby so that they do not go into foster care.
The best thing you can do if you want your child to be adopted and not go into foster care is to contact an adoption agency and place your baby through domestic infant adoption. By doing so, there will be a family who will adopt your baby, chosen by you.
What If No One Adopts My Baby? Why That Won’t Happen
This is a common concern, but rest assured: there is always a family ready to adopt. Because there are more adoptive families than babies available for adoption, your child will be placed with a loving family.
