Add Self-Matching to
your Adoption Process

Self-matching is the fastest-growing adoption method in the US, and PairTree is leading the charge.

Connect with aBirth Mom, directly.

What is Self-Matching?

Self-matching is the fastest growing method of adoption in the US. It means you connect *directly* with an Expectant Mom. Once connected, you would then use your Attorney or Agency to finalize the adoption.

Why Self-Match?

Building a direct relationship with your Expectant Mom is invaluable – as you'll most likely be connected for the rest of your lives.

It can also be up to 75% faster and less expensive than the conventional method of adoption. On average, self-matching takes 6-9 months, and the fees (attorney, birth mom living expenses, and marketing) are below $15K.
