Adoption can be a difficult decision. You may wonder how you could place your child for adoption. But this option is a brave, selfless choice that allows your child to grow up in a loving family.
No one should ever pressure you into making a pregnancy decision. You need to know the facts about each option, including adoption. We’re here to help you learn the ins and outs of adoption so you can make an informed choice.
Adoption: a Loving Choice
While adoption can be emotionally challenging, you won’t be alone. As the birthmother, you can select the adoptive parents and create an adoption plan that works for you.
Each adoption plan offers different levels of contact with your child and the adoptive family:
Open Adoption
You can form a relationship with your child and connect with the adoptive family through letters, phone calls, visits, and more.
Semi-Open Adoption
Interaction with the adoptive family and child is done through a state licensed adoption agency.
Closed Adoption
You will remain anonymous and won’t have contact with the adoptive family. All identifying records are sealed.
Your Needs are the Priority
You are in control. Making an adoption plan means professionals will help you every step of the way. You’ll also receive peace of mind knowing your child is safe and taken care of.
Birthmothers do not pay for any adoption or medical expenses. Additional resources, including emotional support and material aid, may also be given. Placing your child for adoption is a loving choice, and your needs are prioritized throughout the process.
