If my child has been taken into state custody, can I still create an adoption plan?<\/strong><\/p>\n If your child has been taken into state custody by the Florida Department of Children and Families, you are still able to choose adoption for your child as long as your parental rights have not been terminated. While choosing to place your child for adoption in Florida<\/a> is not an easy choice, it would allow you the ability to gain more control over the situation and to place your child into a better situation, compared to foster care.<\/p>\n Some Benefits of Choosing Adoption For Your Baby:<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing adoption for your child wouldn\u2019t just be beneficial to you, it would also make a large, positive impact on your child\u2019s life as well. Compared with children who grow up in foster care, children who are adopted tend to have more opportunities for growth and exploration since the adoptive parents have long planned for their arrival. Adopted children are also often raised in more safe, stable environments and by adoptive parents who have the financial resources to provide them with educational opportunities, like the ability to attend college. Additionally, adopted children are able to grow up knowing that their birth parents made a tough, but loving decision to place them with a family who would love and care for them and give them the best life possible.<\/p>\n Having your child removed from your home by the Florida Department of Children and Families can be stressful and scary, but you don\u2019t have to go through this alone. If you\u2019d like to consider exploring an adoption plan for your child<\/a>, you can always contact Heart of Adoptions, Inc<\/a>. at 1-800-GO-ADOPT.
