Profile Feedback

Adoption Profile ReviewYou never get a second chance to make a first impression. From the start your adoption profile must stand out from the thousands of other profiles out there.

Although it may feel good when your family and friends give you positive feedback about your adoption profile, typically the comments do not identify missing information, offer an unbiased critique of your photographs and captions, provide recommendations regarding your use of anecdotes and your overall design, and advice about avoiding common mistakes.

You need this feedback to dramatically strengthen your adoption profile. Everyone benefits from a fresh perspective and honest, direct feedback. We will give you both written and verbal feedback and take the time to answer all of your questions.

Many families tell us that the Adoption Profile Professional Review offered the exact input they knew they needed yet were struggling to get — even from their attorney or social worker.

Zoey’s birthmother said as soon as she saw our profile book she knew we were it. She forced herself to read other profiles, but knew in her heart we were the perfect match for her. We wanted to say thank you very much for all of your wonderful and helpful assistance on our adoption profile. We will continue to recommend you as a great resource in the adoption process.

What’s Included

The Adoption Profile Professional Review includes a 1-2 page written summary of our feedback that highlights areas where your profile excels, as well as areas where further refinement would make a significant difference. The written feedback we provide on your adoption profile follows the same recommendations we share in our adoption profile educational course, The WHAT and HOW of Adoption Profiles.

We will provide specific recommendations in these and many other areas:

Most prospective adoptive parents think that the purpose of the adoption profile is to share information about themselves. This is true, but it’s not the only purpose of the adoption profile.

In addition to sharing information about yourself you must also create an image in the reader’s mind as to what life will be like for their child as a member of your family. Accomplishing these two things in a sincere and honest way is what authenticity is all about.

The photographs and captions you put in your adoption profile are often the determining factor as to whether or not someone reads your profile — not chooses you to parent, but READS YOUR PROFILE at all. At a minimum, expectant parents make initial judgments based on the pictures.
It is more memorable and a more interesting read when you show your values, loves, and personality through anecdotes, stories, and pictures. Do not simply report facts when you can tell a short story.

After you have reviewed our written feedback we will schedule a call to answer your questions and further discuss ideas for strengthening your adoption profile and making it the best it can be. This follow-up phone call typically lasts 30-45 minutes.

The Process

We will contact you to schedule your review within two business days of your purchase and are typically able to complete the review within 2 weeks. If you need a faster turnaround, just ask.

This service begins with a current draft of your adoption profile. The stronger the draft, the more value you get from this service.

Finally, we do not write adoption profiles for families because expectant parents need to get to know you through YOUR words and style. We absolutely help you clarify meaning and strengthen your message and will provide specific editing suggestions when appropriate.
