Whether you're a first-time parent or veteran parent who enjoyed the challenges of raising an infant, the desire to raise children under the age of 2 is strong. Both traditional and nontraditional adopters can adopt infants, but it's far easier for a young married couple to be placed with a healthy infant than it is for a single-mother, older couple or gay individual or couple. Nontraditional adopters may have an easier time adopting an infant overseas.
Finding infants available for adoption starts with identifying the kind of adoption you're interested in pursuing. If you're looking to adopt a newly born infant, you may want to check for photolistings online or in adoption magazines and agency websites. Photolistings are a great way to browse through the kind of children currently available. If you're interested in international infant adoption, there are also photolistings that you can browse through. Photolistings are not meant to match an adopter with an adoptee, but are instead great tools for adopters to use to figure out what they want out of the kind of children that are available.
Another way to find infants available for adoption is to register with an attorney, agency or facilitator. These adoption outlets will mediate a placement with a future birth mother and make the arrangements to have the adoption finalized after her pregnancy comes to term.
