How Different is a 1-Year-Old Adoption From a Newborn Adoption?

The process of giving your 1-year-old baby up for adoption is reasonably similar to that of newborn adoption. However, there are a few documents that you will need to provide, such as your child’s original birth certificate and all medical records you might have of their doctor’s appointments and vaccination records if any. Our talented staff adoption caseworker will help you get everything you need to move forward with the adoption process.
