Domestic Adoptions
The definition of domestic adoption is quite straightforward: It is when both of the prospective parents and the child are U.S. citizens.
Although the explanation is uncomplicated, the process may seem quite daunting. Adoption ARC will make it clear and simple to guide you through the journey to parenthood. Federal and state laws are in effect to safeguard the rights of the birth and adoptive parents, and children involved. Above all, our adoption professionals are available anytime to assist in all matters of domestic adoption.
Types of Domestic Adoption
Generally, there are three types of domestic adoption: open, closed and semi-open.
- In Open adoption, contact and identifiable information are shared between all parties involved in the adoption.
- Closed adoption is where there is very little or no contact between parties. Medical history is commonly the only information shared.
- Semi-open adoption usually includes the sharing of limited information such as only the parties involved first name and medical history. It may also include contact mediated by a third party.

How domestic adoptions work
Providing a stable environment for the child's well-being
To begin with, in the adoption process state law requires an investigation into the parenting fitness of the adoptive parent or parents. This procedure involves a home study to aid in determining eligibility of the petitioning parents.
Some of the items considered in the home study during the domestic adoption process are:
- Financial stability
- Marital stability, if applicable
- Other children in the home
- Career obligations
- Health
- Criminal history
- Child Abuse Clearances
- Proof of insurance
- History of Adoptive Family
- Views on Parenting
- Views on Openness in the Adoption
- Opinions about the Birth Family
- What type of child would the parent(s) be best able to incorporate successfully into the family
