Adoption Associates wants you to make decisions that are best for both you and your baby. Here are some basics when it comes to selecting the adoption option that’s a good fit for you:
Open Adoption Option
If you want openness, it is likely that you’ll start by looking at profiles of available prospective adoptive parents. You can choose the family and have the opportunity to meet them. If you like, you can start communicating with them and spending time with them to get to know each other. Then, after the baby is placed with them, you can continue contact if you choose. It’s common for birth parents and adoptive parents to send texts or emails, exchange updates, and share pictures. Often there are ongoing meetings as well.
Openness can vary from one situation to the next. Your plan might be for just a little exchange of information and contact. However, you may plan for more contact and interaction over time if you choose. There are a lot of options when you choose adoption in Flint, MI.
Closed Adoption Option
If you want to, you can choose a closed adoption. The agency will then choose the most appropriate adoptive parents for your baby from among our waiting families. The adoptive parents will receive no identifying information about you, nor you about them.
Anonymous Surrender – Safe Delivery Option
In Michigan, there is a law that allows for the anonymous surrender of a newborn by his or her parent. This option is often referred to as ‘Safe Haven’ or ‘Safe Delivery’. Your baby goes immediately to a pre-approved adoptive family. This law is meant to provide a way for a birth parent to remain anonymous. If you feel that safe delivery might be the best option for you, please click HERE for more information, or text one of our adoption specialists at 248-283-4673.
