No matter which phase of pregnancy you are in, the thought of giving your baby up for adoption can feel overwhelming. The decision comes with many mixed emotions, uncertainty, and questions. However, you are not alone.
Whether you’ve just found out you’re pregnant or are at the hospital, or you’ve already given birth, it is important to know you have options. You can still consider adoption weeks or months after birth. There is no “right” timeline. What matters is making a decision that feels right for you and your baby.

When you are considering giving your baby up for adoption, our team is here for you 24/7 to provide guidance and support. Every conversation is pressure-free, with no obligation, just honest support.

Each option has a different level of contact and allows you to take control of your decisions regarding, what feels right for you and your baby.
Finding The Right Family
Selecting an adoptive family for your baby is an important decision, but you don’t have to make it alone. Your adoption caseworker will help you review each family and choose the one you feel most confident about.
