Adoption is a life-changing decision. You might have heard that you’re “giving up” or don’t care about your child’s well-being.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. When you decide to place your child in a loving family, you are making a sacrificial and courageous choice.
Your needs deserve to be respected and honored, and you won’t pay for adoption services. In fact, you may be entitled to additional financial assistance and support services, including counseling.
It’s your choice. We’re here to arm you with the facts.
what’s Available?
As the birth mother, you make the decisions and participate in every step of the process. You can select the adoptive family and choose the type of relationship you wish to have. And no one will force you to choose something you’re uncomfortable with.
Every woman has different interests, goals, and mindsets. That’s why you can choose the adoption plan that works best for you:
Open Adoption:
Form a relationship with the adoptive family and child. You’ll be an integral part of their lives and can regularly communicate through phone calls, visits, and more.
Semi-Open Adoption:
Stay in contact with the adoptive family, but on more formal terms. All communication occurs through a third party, like an adoption attorney or agency.
Closed Adoption:
Keep your personal information private. All identifying records will be sealed, and you won’t communicate with the adoptive family.
