Getting started.
Who this helps
Open to Maine residents interested in domestic adoption. Prospective adoptive parents must complete an application, home study, training, and background checks. Birth parents receive free, confidential counseling with no obligation.
How to get started
Call to schedule an initial meeting. A caseworker will explain the adoption process, answer your questions, and help you understand your options. The full process typically takes several months to over a year depending on circumstances.
