Parent Profile Review Service and Parent Profile Writing Package

Agonizing over your parent profile? We know just how you feel. When we started ours, we practically pulled our hair out. But then we put our professional writing and marketing skills to the test and eventually found the words and the way to connect with the birth parents who were looking for us.

Since then we’ve helped dozens of other couples do the same. And we can help you, too. One thing we’ve learned from our own experience, as well as from speaking to birth parents, adoption professionals and other adoptive parents, is that there’s no magic formula. A parent profile -- or “Dear Birth Mother” letter, as it’s also known -- is a personal story that comes from the heart. Every profile, just like every birth parent or every adoptive parent, is different.

inkwellAnd yet there are specific things you can say and do that will boost your chances of success. Given how much of the adoption process is out of your hands, this is one of the few areas that you can actually influence and have some control over.

Whether you choose our Parent Profile Review Service or our Parent Profile Writing Package, you’ll work with a professional writer who adopted twice as a direct result of his own parent profiles. A former marketing director, he has read, reviewed or revised hundreds of profiles since co-launching Canada Adopts! in 2001. He’s also been a keynote speaker at the Adoption Resource Exchange, where he’s led workshops in parent profile writing in 2008 and 2007.
