Available means that AdoptLink is accepting profiles of interested adoptive parent/s.



Match Pending means that the birthparent/s and adoptive parent/s are considering each other to work toward an adoption plan, but neither party has committed yet.  Additional profiles are not presented to birthparent/s during a pending match. If a match does not occur, the status will be changed to Available.


Matched means that the birthparent/s and adoptive parent/s have committed to working together in order to fulfill an adoption. If a match is disrupted, the status will be changed to Available.


Decided to parent is self-explanatory.


Case Closed means that the expectant mother is no longer communicating with the agency or attorney by phone, mail, etc., and the agency or attorney have concluded that the expectant mother is no longer interested in adoption, or has made adoption plans elsewhere.
