Self-serve workspace for adoptive parents - $199 one-time
Keep your adoption paperwork, state rules, and questions in one quiet place.
Explore the 7-stage interactive adoption journey (plus the Known-Child track and ICPC interstate guide), the side-by-side two-state ICPC comparison tool, the cited cost and statutory expense-rule estimator, and the 40-item Document Vault preview.
Built exclusively for prospective adoptive parents to organize their own preparation and records. PrivateAdoption.app never places children, never matches families with expectant parents, never hosts public profiles, and never provides legal or home-study services.

Home Study
Complete state criminal and child-abuse clearances, FBI fingerprinting, medical and financial verifications, safety walkthroughs, and social-worker interviews to receive your written home-study approval.
Profile
Prepare the family profile letter, photos, and openness preferences that an expectant mother reviews, while staying strictly within your state's advertising and facilitator statutes.
Waiting
Keep background clearances, home-study updates, and financial reserves current while waiting for a match, and review opportunity packets with your agency or adoption attorney.
Match
Review the match budget, medical and social history disclosures, putative father registry timing, and post-adoption contact expectations with independent legal counsel.
Placement & ICPC
Navigate hospital discharge, statutory post-birth consent timing and revocation windows, and the ICPC-100A interstate compact review before traveling home across state lines.

Complete post-placement supervision visits, file the adoption petition and expense accounting in court, attend the finalization hearing, and request the amended birth certificate.
