Adoption Risks: Ten Common Mistakes Adoptive Parents Make When Adopting

1. They haven't resolved their feelings about infertility and jump into a situation before they're ready.
2. They don't spend enough time educating themselves about the adoption process or researching their options.
3. They take the first situation that comes along, thinking they'll only have one chance.
4. Their expectations are too high or too low.
5. They don't trust their instincts enough.
6. They give too much power to others -- adoption professionals and the prospective birth parents.
7. They don't say or do things they know they should for fear of scaring off the potential birth parents.
8. They don't make decisions from a position of strength.
9. They don't know how to walk away from a situation or get out of one once they're in over their heads.
10. They don't realize that their child will have two sets of parents.
