Process of getting a baby ready for matching

When a child is abandoned they must be taken to the police station.

1) The police report must be written up
2) The abandonment documentation must be prepared
3) For three months they try to find the birth family through finding ads
4) A birth certificate must be drawn up
5) A medical report must be completed
6) The orphanage must also prepare the daily schedule and developmental report for each child

All of this must take place before the baby is "paper ready" for adoption. Then they are matched with adopting parents. This is why the babies are 8 months and older before they are matched.
