Expectant
Parents:
We want to thank you for considering adoption as a responsible life option
for you and your child. We know that this is one of the most difficult
decisions you will ever make. Before now you probably haven’t
researched adoption and in order to assist you with that decision we want
to offer you as much information and education about adoption as possible.
We want to help you make a responsible life commitment for you and your
child. We know you have many questions, many concerns and many fears. It is
our goal to support you whether you decide that parenting or adoption is
the best plan for you and your child. Our first concern is support for you,
you need to know that we support life.
For
parents living in Michigan
we can offer a full range of face to face support. We offer pregnancy
counseling, legal advice and information on the adoption process. If you
choose to make an adoption plan for your baby, we will assist you in
choosing the adoptive family that most closely matches your desires for
your child’s future. We will be able to show you many different
presentation letters which introduce you to the families. You are able to
choose telephone or face to face meetings. We are here to help you feel
confident in your decision and in planning your child’s future.

Agencies and
Attorneys, in order to give you the personal support and time you need in
this decision.

Prospective
Adoptive Families:
Agency Services:
Families who reside in Michigan
who are interested in direct placement adoption can receive full agency
services from Heaven Sent. We provide adoptive family assessment (home
study) which includes counseling, pre- and post-placement home visits and
finalization. Basically, this means we will handle all the paperwork and
documentation that you will need. Once you are home-study approved, we will
present you to all expectant parents who desire a family like yours for
their child. These would be not only expectant parents working directly
with Heaven Sent but also referrals from our many networking attorneys and
agencies. We also encourage you in searching for an Expectant Mother on
your own. Should you find a match for your family on your own, we are happy
to assist the Expectant Parent(s) with counseling and support. We can also
assist them with legal counsel, even representation, if you both so desire.
It is
our goal to build families with the least amount of financial burden
possible. For more information regarding pricing of family assessment,
family assessments updates, post-placement supervision, or for a copy of
our Mission Statement and Program Statement please e-mail your name and
questions to info@heavensentadopt.com or phone us at (231) 237-9880.
Referral Program:
If you have a completed home study with another agency, you may certainly
still participate in our referral program. You only need to fill out the
on-line registration for us to consider networking for you.
Once
registration has been accepted, you will send via postal mail five copies
of your Presentation letter (commonly known as Dear Birthparent letter) and
one copy of your approved home study with your registration fee. We are
happy to assist you in preparing your Presentation letter, should you need
some helpful hints for a more friendly and unique letter.
When an
agency or attorney present situations to us, we determine which of our
registered clients meet what the expectant parents are requesting and the agency/attorney
requirements. You would then be contacted about the situation and decide
whether you want to be submitted. The agency or attorney will present you
with other families to the expectant parents. If they select your family,
you would then work directly with the agency or attorney that is
representing the expectant parents. Because all agency and attorney contact
information is confidential, we handle all communication with the
professional until you are matched with a situation. You will be matched
and placed through an attorney or agency that is licensed to place children
for adoption. All counseling, finances and legal work will be done by a
licensed agency or adoption attorney.
By
registering with Heaven Sent you are essentially registering with many
agencies and attorneys. Our referral and networking fee is paid to the
attorney or agency working with the expectant parents when the placement is
complete and you have a baby in your arms.
Adoption
Professionals:
Referral Program:
Heaven Sent has been assisting attorneys and agencies in completing
families through adoption since 1999. As an adoption professional you will
have access to all Heaven Sent registered, home study ready perspective
adoptive families to assist your expectant parent(s) in locating the family
for their child. In order to utilize Heaven Sent Adoption’s referral
service, we need to have you contact the office and establish a referral
agreement. When registering a family we receive a copy of their home study
and also make a call to the agency to be sure it is current. When you are
in need of perspective adoptive families for a situation you simply fill
out the situation in take form with the requested details. The Heaven Sent
office will search our registered client data base and then send
appropriate family profiles to your office. We will handle all postings,
emails, postal mailings and telephone calls during the presentation and
selection process. We will take care of the contact with the presented
families until a selection has been made. Once your expectant parent is
matched with a Heaven Sent family we will then put only that selected
family in direct contact with you. This will leave your staff more time to
focus on the needs of your office and the expectant parents. The adoptive
family will make all payments to your office, including our referral fee.
Our fee is then paid to us by your office when the Heaven Sent family has
taken physical custody of their child and has a baby in their arms.
