At Adoption Associates, you can discuss your questions and concerns in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Our team will help you through the adoption process without pressure.
How Can Adoption Services Help You?
You may be worried about your unborn child, your future, and what to do next. A conversation with an adoption professional can help you understand your options.
Learn What Adoption Means
Adoption is an option if you are not ready to parent your child. Your circumstances may involve financial concerns, family responsibilities, or other personal considerations. As a parent, you may be concerned about what happens after your baby is born and what your choices are.
Speaking with an adoption caseworker can help you learn about these steps in simple terms. You can ask as many questions as you need. You can also take time to think before making a choice.
Your Choices As Birth Mother
If you consider adoption, you may be able to express preferences about important decisions concerning your baby’s future. Your adoption caseworker can help you explore an adoption plan that reflects your preferences. This may include:
- Choosing a loving and safe family for your baby
- Review profiles of prospective adoptive families and ask about the agency’s screening and home-study process
- Decide the level of contact you wish to have after placement
- Choose between open, semi-open, and closed adoption
- Make a hospital plan
