What Is Adoption Disruption in California?

An adoption disruption is when the prospective birth mother changes their mind and discontinues the adoption process. An adoption disruption in California can occur only before they sign the legal paperwork that makes the adoption official and final and the revocation period has passed. Until that point, though, a prospective birth parent can stop the adoption at any time.

We do everything possible action to minimize a disrupted adoption by providing extensive support to women considering adoption. To give you some examples, these are just some of the ways we do what we can to prevent an adoption disruption from happening:

• Free, 24/7 birth parent counseling: Round-the-clock availability for prospective birth parents is crucial for a successful adoption journey. That’s why our team offers free, 24/7 counseling services for whenever birth parents need to process the many complex emotions of adoption.
• Clear communication and guidance: Some adoption disruption stories you hear are the result of a lack of communication. In some cases, the agency isn’t clear about what both parties’ needs are. On the other hand, our agency can mediate contact and guide you and the prospective birth mother through every step of the adoption journey from start to finish.
• Licensed and educated social workers: As a fully licensed and regulated adoption agency, our social workers have the necessary experience and education to provide all the support you and the prospective birth mother need. Unlicensed professionals, such as adoption facilitators and law centers, often fall through on their adoptions because of the lack of required staff training.

When you work with open adoption agencies in California, such as FCCA, you can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to prevent an adoption disruption as much as possible. If you are searching for open adoption agencies near me, then contact us online to get started with your process today.

How Often Do Adoptions Disrupt [And What Happens Afterward]?

National research shows that 10-25% of adoptions don’t work out.

If you experience a failed adoption, then our social workers are always here to help you navigate and process your feelings. It’s normal to have complex emotions when this occurs.

Because we understand how emotional an adoption disruption can be, we take care of the financial end of things, too. Our financial protection program ensures that you get all your money back in the event of a disruption. Most adoption professionals do not protect money you would lose in the case of an adoption disruption, meaning a disruption can be emotionally and financially devastating. Adoption can be expensive, and the last thing you should have to worry about as you go through this emotional event is losing thousands of dollars. We protect your finances so that a disruption doesn’t drain your adoption budget.

Our adoption disruption insurance has saved hopeful parents like you more than $4.6 million since 2009.

This program gives you the chance to fully grieve this loss before starting the adoption journey again. Coping with an adoption disruption will take some time, so be sure not to rush this important process. So, can you adopt again after a disruption in California? Yes, but make sure you are emotionally ready before you begin again.
