Finding out that you are pregnant can feel overwhelming. You may feel happy, scared, confused, or unsure about what to do next. Every mother wishes the best for their child. Many birth mothers have thoughts like, “I want the best for my baby, but I do not know what to do,” when they consider adoption.
If you are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption, you do not have to make this choice without help. Adoption Associates is here to help you understand your options and make a plan that feels right for you. We have been helping birth mothers since 1990 by placing their babies in loving, secure families.
Gather Information
Are you thinking of choosing adoption? Then, the first step is to ask questions. On contacting us, we will assign you an adoption caseworker. They will work with you throughout the adoption process and answer all your questions. These include:
- How adoption works
- What choices can you make
- What happens before and after birth
- How can you choose an adoptive family
- What support may be available to you
Knowing about adoption and your choices can make it easier for you to make the right choice for you and your baby.
Create an Adoption Plan
There is no single adoption plan that works for every birth mother. Every expectant mother has a different story and a different hope for her child’s future. If you feel adoption is the right choice for you, we will help you make an adoption plan. In this plan, you can talk about what matters most to you and your baby.
You can also choose from open, semi-open, or closed adoption, which will determine the level of contact you wish to have with the adoptive family after placement.
Choose a Family for Your Baby
As a birth mother, many women worry about who will raise their baby. But you do not have to worry. Our team will provide a list of waiting adoptive families who are verified and cleared for a home study. You can review the profiles and learn about their homes, families, values, and reasons for choosing adoption. You can take your time to decide on a family for your child.
Make a Hospital Plan
Your baby’s birth is an important part of your journey. Our adoption caseworker will help you make a hospital plan before your due date. You can decide who you want with you and what you would like during your hospital stay.
