Terms of Agreement

A Loving Alternative LLC

  • Thank you for selecting Adopt An Infant LLC to assist you with your adoption efforts. This document describes our agreement with respect to fees and adoption coordination services. By submitting this form, the adopting parent(s) (aka Client) agree with these terms as set forth below.

    Adopt An Infant LLC only works with adopting parent(s) that are working in conjunction with an approved adoption consultant, adoption agency or adoption attorney. Adopting parent(s) must also have a current Adoption Home Study.

    I. SERVICES PROVIDED:

    As an adoption coordinator, we will provide the following services for our Clients:

    • Work in conjunction with a nationwide advertising company that provides ads geared toward pregnant women considering adoption.
    • Handle initial calls from expectant mothers. This includes a hotline that is normally answered 24/7.
    • Educate expecting mothers on the various types of adoption.
    • Gather initial information about the expectant mother and provide this information to potential adopting parent(s) prior to their initial contact with the expectant parent(s).
    • Arrange for initial contact between Client and the expectant mother.
    • Coach you through the initial match.
    • Arrange a conference call between you and the expectant mother.
    • Provide referrals to a licensed agency or attorney in the expectant mother’s state who will see the adoption through. With 25 years of experience in the field of adoption our referrals can be beneficial to our clients.

    II. LIMITATION OF SERVICES:

    Once a mutual commitment to adoption is made by the expectant mothers and the adoptive parents, it is the responsibility of the adoption agency and/or adoption attorney to develop, manage, and further facilitate all aspects of the actual adoption plan, offer or provide counseling, give legal advice, and complete the adoption process.

    Adopt An Infant LLC is not a licensed child placing adoption agency, attorney, law firm, adoption facilitator, adoption service provider, psychotherapist, investigator, or counselor. They are engaged solely in the business of coordinating Client’s adoption advertising efforts and related activities as set forth in this Agreement. Adopt An Infant LLC does not place children for adoption. The expectant mother/parents or licensed adoption agency places children for adoption.

    It is not the responsibility of Adopt An Infant LLC to advise Client of the laws or procedures of adoption in Client’s state or any other state, nor to engage in the unlicensed practice of law in the field of adoption. Client is advised to rely solely on competent and professional legal advice once they have connected with the expectant mother and they wish to proceed with the adoption.

    Therefore, please be advised that, for separate and additional fees, Client will need to seek the legal advice and services of a licensed adoption agency and/or a competent adoption attorney in Client’s state, and/or the state where the expectant mother resides, in order to assure that Client will be able to legally adopt a child. Adopt An Infant will provide you referrals.

    III.  SELECTION PROCESS:

    Be advised that Adopt An Infant LLC does not “select” the adoptive family for the expectant mothers, or the expectant mothers for the adoptive family. It is up to the expectant mother of the child to personally select Client as the adoptive parent(s) and for Client to agree to work with the expectant mother. Adopt An Infant LLC does not make decisions for Client or for the expectant mothers.

    IV. DEFINITION OF FEES PAID:

    Client agrees to pay the following two fees upon a confirmed match.

    Adopt An Infant Fees:

    Upon accepting a potential match (reviewing all information provided, speaking with the expectant mother and making the decision to move forward) a one-time, non-refundable, fee of $3,800 will be owed to Adopt An Infant LLC. This fee is to compensate Adopt An Infant LLC for time and effort spent providing their services as described in Section I above.

    Chosen Parents Adoptions Services and Fees:

    Chosen Parents Adoptions is an Advertising service that focuses on locating expectant mothers who are considering adoption. This match is the result of advertising provided by Chosen Parents Adoptions. Fees paid are for advertising expenses paid to locate expectant mothers, office staff to take incoming calls 24/7, costs associated with maintaining and managing various websites, office equipment. Prior to paying this advertising fee, Client will receive general information about this potential match. Client only pays the advertising fee if they choose to move forward with this match. The advertiser’s fee (Plan A) of $18,800 or (Plan B) of $21,800 will be paid directly to the advertising company (Chosen Parents Adoptions) upon a confirmed match. The company we work with offers a refund of $9,400 if the expectant mother changes her mind. The advertiser’s refund policies are attached, please carefully review these documents. If Client agrees to move forward with a potential match, they will also agree to the advertiser’s refund policies.

    V. PAYMENT OF FEES:

    Once an expectant mother has selected you as potential adoptive parent(s) and you are interested in pursuing her, a conference call will be arranged. After this call if both parties want to pursue this adoption this is considered a “confirmed match”. Upon a confirmed match both the above fees will be due within 48 hours.

    VI.  ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK:

    Adopt An Infant LLC may obtain initial information about potential expectant parents. This information may include, but is not limited to, information regarding paternity of the child, estimated due date, ethnicity of the expectant parents, expectant parent’s medical history and/or the medical history of their families, substance use during pregnancy and expectant parent(s) financial needs and requirements. Client understands that Adopt An Infant LLC cannot guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of any information obtained from expectant parents or others involved in an adoption. Client further understands that Adopt An Infant LLC does not perform investigative services and therefore cannot be held liable if an expectant parent fails to disclose any information that could be relevant to the adoption. It is the client’s responsibility to take such steps as Client and Client’s adoption agency or attorney deem necessary to verify or investigate such information. Through the direction of Client’s adoption agency or attorney, Client may choose to hire a private investigator, if there is suspicion that the expectant parent(s) are not being honest or forthcoming about issues that could affect the adoption.

    Although Adopt An Infant LLC may offer an opinion regarding prospective expectant parent(s), Client understands they cannot guarantee, promise or warrant the success of any particular adoption, nor can they guarantee the health of the expectant parents or of the adoptive child. Likewise, Adopt An Infant LLC cannot guarantee the ethnic background of the expectant parents nor can they be held liable if an expectant mother fails to disclose all possible expectant fathers. These are matters that need to be addressed by Client’s adoption agency and/or attorney.

    The Client waives any claim for damages, direct or indirect, and agrees that the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all damages (either in contract or tort) shall be the return of the fees paid ($3,800) to Adopt An Infant LLC. Client also agrees that should a dispute arise a resolution will be arranged by the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) mediation procedures of the State of California.
