Considering Adoption?

Adoption may feel impossible right now. You might wonder how you could “give up” your child and what others would think.

Choosing adoption does not mean you’re “giving up” your child and don’t care about their well-being. It’s a brave decision rooted in sacrifice and love. If you are considering adoption, chances are you want your child to have a life you can’t provide. You would do everything necessary to ensure they were in a supportive, caring environment.

With this option, you are in control. You can choose the adoption plan that works best for you, select the adoptive family, and receive the support you need to navigate this challenging decision.

Open Adoption

An open adoption plan is the most common because it lets you form a relationship with your child. You’ll have regular contact with them and the adoptive family through letters, phone calls, visits, and more.

Semi-Open Adoption

A semi-open adoption allows contact between you and the adoptive family, but it is mediated through a third party (like an adoption agency or attorney). You may exchange limited information with each other, like first names.

Closed Adoption

Closed adoptions aren’t as common but may be necessary in certain circumstances. With this adoption plan, you and the adoptive family won’t have contact. All identifying records are sealed, and you’ll remain anonymous.

This plan might be best if your situation is unsafe or unstable or you want total privacy.

Making Your Decision

Adoption is a serious decision that requires some reflection about what you’d like your future to look like. But it’s entirely your choice; you should never be pressured into making a specific pregnancy decision.

If you select this option, know you won’t pay for adoption services. Your pregnancy and childbirth-related expenses will be covered, and you may receive additional assistance.

We’ll educate you on the adoption process and provide referrals as needed to resources that can help. This is your choice, and we’ll help you make an informed one.
