These adoptions can occur very quickly, if the birth mother chooses you as the parents she would like for her child. In an agency adoption, the agency is in charge of choosing the parents for the child, and the birth mother relinquishes her rights to the agency. There are other types of adoptions, a majority of adoptions are independent adoptions. There is a variety of ways that one may write an adoption.
