"Generations Adoptions has been absolutely a God-sent
part of our life.  We have been blessed to be able to receive a wonderful little baby girl into our home.  She completed our happy home and we are so thankful that her birth mother chose the most loving and caring thing possible for this precious little life."

Adoptive Parents

Generations Adoptions places newborns with married couples.  Occasionally a birthparent will choose to place an older child for adoption.

Currently, We only work with prospective adoptive families from the State of Texas.  Please note that we work with families from across the U.S. in our international programs.

Types of Adoption Plans

We work with birthmoms as they make a plan for their child’s future.  When the birthmom chooses adoption, she is offered the opportunity to view profiles of approved and waiting families. The birthmom chooses the family. Staff at Generations then help arrange, and facilitate, this meeting so they can get to  know one another.  Once chosen, birthmoms and adoptive parents together determine the details of their own adoptive plan, facilitated by their caseworker.

Prospective adoptive parents have many questions, concerns, and fears about adoption. This is normal and we understand. We are here to help each step of the way. A lot has changed in adoption over the years, and today's adoptions offer many benefits for adoptive families, birth families, and adoptive children. Generations provides personalized care for families. In fact, we provide an adoptive parent caseworker to work with the adoptive family, and a birthmother caseworker to work with each birthmother.

Prospective adoptive families at Generations will receive education, training, and preparation on the various forms that open adoption takes today. There are often misunderstandings about open adoption and many do not really have a clear understanding of what it is, and what it is not. Since open adoption can take many forms, it often looks different for each family. Open adoption will be addressed in detail at the orientation, as well as the adoptive parent training class. Today, the majority of birthmothers are very educated on their choices in adoption, having done their research. They understand that they are able to choose the type of adoption plan they desire, and most want some level of an open adoption. In the vast majority of our adoptions birthmothers choose and meet the adoptive family, and then begin to develop a relationship consisting of some level of contact such as pictures, letters, blogs, visits, etc. Generations works with both birth and adoptive families to help them create a customized adoption plan that serves the best interest of the birth family, child, and adoptive family. Types and frequency of contacts vary from relationship to relationship. Generations facilitates the creation of a written informal "agreement - from heart to heart" between the birth mother and adoptive family. This agreement helps in managing expectations and setting boundaries from the beginning. Generations is available throughout the adoption process, and afterwards, for all involved in the adoption. We look forward to assisting each family in the adoption journey that God has for them.

Embryo Adoption

When a family has been successful in having a child through In Vitro Fertilization, there are often remaining embryos that were not used. These embryos are frozen and stored. Questions remain for the families who are no longer planning to use the embryos to build their family, but struggle with what to do with the frozen embryos.

The Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program allows couples who have frozen embryos in storage to agree to release the embryos for transfer to an adoptive couple. The transfer of the embryos into the womb of the adoptive mother takes place with the intent that she and her husband may carry the child, give birth to the child, and be that child's parents. The genetic family relinquishes the embryos for adoption and implantation in the adoptive mother.

For families who long to be parents, and have been unable to conceive, embryo adoption may be an answer. Prospective adoptive moms must be physically able to carry a child to term as determined by her physician. Couples who are unable to become parents through the traditional IVF treatments may find themselves candidates for embryo adoption.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of embryo adoption for your family, please contact Laura Jackson at Generations Adoptions, or visit the following website of one of our NCAF partner agencies – Nightlight Christian Adoptions: Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program.

Transitional Care Families

Newborns may be able to go home directly with the adoptive family.  However, on a few occasions the newborn will go to one of Generations Adoptions’ licensed and loving Transitional Care families.  Stays may vary from 2 days – 2 months depending upon the legal situation of the child.
