What AdoptProfiles.com does for your adoption.

This couple adopted in 4 months.

The above couple accompanied their birthparent letter with this video profile on a DVD.  It was the only DVD their birthparents received.  Their adoption wait was 4 months.


A video profile is an interview of you and your spouse answering adoption relevant question. This DVDs is handed out with your birthparent letter to prospective birthparents.  The video profile enables birthparents to immediately visit with you if something about your letter strikes their interest.

The exciting advantage a video profiles gives your birthparent letter over other birthparent letters is it rounds out the introduction experience the birthparents have with you.  They can see how you move, sound, laugh, interacts with your spouse, see your emotions, see everything which makes you, you; immediately.  Admit it; this is what you are trying to create in the mind of the reader so why not provide it to them.

Don’t let your birthparent letter compete with other letters accompanied with a video profile and have to wait your turn.

Dear AdoptProfiles.com:

We just wanted to send you a note to tell you how pleased we were with our experience with you and AdoptProfiles.com. From the beginning to the end, we found everything to be efficient and definitely worth it. We also liked the fact that, from your own adoption experience, you knew the anxiety and emotions we were dealing with at the time. The process of taping the DVD was so great. It really helped us to be able to verbalize what adoption meant to and for us. We have successfully adopted and truly believe that part of that reason is because of the adoption profile DVD we had created by AdoptProfiles.com. As a matter of fact, our adoption took place much sooner than we were told or expected. The birthparents who ended up choosing us looked through a hundred "Dear Birthmother" letters. Our letter was the only one that also included an adoption profile DVD. In addition, the birth parents who chose us were the first and only birth parents who read our "Dear Birthmother" letter and saw our adoption profile DVD. We believe that the adoption profile played a key role in us being chosen so quickly. They were able to hear us and see us talking about adoption and the emotion that we felt for such a heartfelt desire. We found the adoption profile DVD to be such a great resource in helping us receive the most wonderful blessing, our new baby girl. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is how your video profile is presented on the internet:

FAQ


1. Why a profile video?
The short answer: A profile video is an efficient way of earning the loyalty and respect of the birthparents you are trying to reach over traditional profile methods.

ReResearch tells us Millennials prefer things fast and are comfortable with technology like the internet, wireless phones, and DVD players, etc.


2. How long does it take?
For the actual interview taping we suggest blocking off three hours, usually less. This includes lighting tweaks and everything else inherent to video production.

For completion of the entire profile video there is no fixed time because of a host of fluid factors related to video production. But my goal is three weeks, which includes editing, posting on the internet, DVD duplication, etc.

3. Can I specify a particular question in my interview?
Yes. We also have a collection of existing questions to which we're always adding. But if there is something particular about yourself you want brought out in the profile video please point it out to us before the interview taping so we can be sure to include it in your finished video.

It's also good to check with your agency or law firm because sometimes they have certain questions they would like addressed.

4. Will our profile video appear on AdoptProfiles.com?
Probably not.  It depends on how your law firm or agency would like your profile to be presented.

A majority of agencies and law firms prefer your profile video appear in a pop-up window on their individual web-sites.

5. What if I stumble or say something wrong during the interview?
Not a problem. This isn't live TV. If you get tongue-tied no one is going to know because we edit all bloopers.

So if you're answering a question and realize there's a better way of saying something, or you want to rethink your answer, do so. In fact we encourage it. This is a relaxed no pressure interview. It can even be fun.

6. What should I wear for the interview?
Solid colors work best. Avoid black, white, and pinstripes.

Watch the demonstration video on this web-site and look at their clothing. If you can't decide, bring two or three outfits to the interview and change if you feel the need.

7. Will a profile video hurt our adoption chances?
No! This is like dating. You can only be yourself. Some will take a liking to who you are, others won't.  It's out of your control.

When my wife and I were adopting we were passed over because there wasn't enough divorce in our family history. Go figure?

But my point is our son's birthmother ultimately loved us for who we are and chose us to be his parents.

8. Is there extra cost for the internet hosting of our profile video?
No. Internet hosting is included. No pay-per-click or monthly hosting fee for the duration your video profiles is posted.

So three months or 24, one click or a 1000. Have at it.

Need to Know

How to Dress for the Actual Interview:            

-  Clothing:  No white.  No Black.  No pin stripes type patterns.  Solid colors are best.          
-  If you can coordinate with your spouse all the better.          
-  If you can’t decide on an outfit bring several and decide at the interview.          
-  Ladies I’m leaving the make-up to you.  There will be a mirror in the changing room so bring your touch up kit.          
-  And guys if you get a hair cut, try to get it a few days before the interview so it has a few days to settle in.  

Things to Bring to the Interview:
           
-  Pictures, for possible use in your profile video.
   (Pictures on a CD would be best, but actual pictures work just as well and all will be returned.)          
-  A change of clothing, if needed.
  

What to Expect at the Interview:
 
-  The whole experience is around three hours, lighting tweaks included (usually less), every interview is different.                                         
-  The interview is conducted indoors.  


Interview Questions:
           
-  Before your interview you’ll be sent a list of the questions you’ll be asked.  Doing this gets you in the interview mind set but the actual order the questions are asked is a secret.  This keeps you on your toes just enough to make the interview fresh.          
-  Also if you, your agency, or law firm have some specific questions you would like asked AdoptProfiles.com welcomes them completely.  After all this is your profile video we are making.

Email addresses and 800 numbers:  

The whole point and design of AdoptProfiles.com is to connect with your birthparents as quickly and easily as possible.  So if you have a dedicated phone number, or 800 number (this includes 888,866,and 877 numbers) and an email address let AdoptProfiles.com know so we can include this information in your video profile if you like.  

If you don’t have a toll-free number or dedicated email address, I suggest you get one.  It will only help. Just a side note.  While you’re adopting always answer the phone positively, you never know when a birthparent will call.

Still have questions?  Please call 317-294-3045.
