CPR & Infant Care Classes
Prospective adoptive parents without children or with children over the age of five years will be required to attend newborn child care classes and submit a statement of attendance from the instructor. Prospective adoptive parents are required to attend a certified, infant CPR class and submit a statement of attendance from the instructor.

Smoking
Adoption Haven, LLC believes that smoking in the home is a threat to the health of the child. With this in mind, we encourage no-smoking in areas where the child could be affected.

Income
Stability of income, ability to manage financial affairs and sources of income are considered more important than actual amounts.

Religion
Adoption Haven, LLC does not require that the prospective adoptive parents be members of any particular church or religious organization. However, the prospective adoptive parents should understand that the religious practice of the prospective family is usually of interest to the birth parents.

Letters/Photos
Many birthparents request updates about their child to assist with the grieving process and to help reassure their placement decision. Therefore, adoptive parents are required to provide Adoption Haven, LLC with non-identifying letters and quality pictures (no Polaroids) of the child once a month for the first three months after placement. After the first three months, pictures and letters are required to be sent at six months, and then at twelve months. Beyond the first year, pictures and letters are required around the child's birthday for twelve years, and then with the child's permission until the age of eighteen.

Post-Placement
The adoptive parents must agree to make themselves available for monthly post-placement supervision visits until their adoption is finalized.

Medical Reports
Pediatrician's reports are required from each doctor's visits until the adoption is finalized.
