Adoption

Adoption is one of your pregnancy options that can provide a hopeful future for both you and your child. Modern adoption is not what it once was—it now offers expectant mothers the chance to maintain control throughout the process. From selecting the adoptive family to determining the level of future contact, you can decide how involved you want to be every step of the way.

If you are considering making an adoption plan, understanding all your options is essential. The more you learn, the more confident you can feel in your decision, knowing it’s right for you and your baby.

Why Adoption?

Adoption is often one of the most difficult yet loving decisions a woman can make. There are many reasons why women from all walks of life choose this option.

Some women may feel they are too young or not ready to raise a child, while others may already have children and feel they don’t have the resources to care for another. Some may think that motherhood is not part of their life goals, or that the timing just isn’t right.

There are also circumstances where women may be in unsafe or unhealthy relationships, where the father is no longer involved, or where they want their child to have more opportunities in a stable two-parent home.

Whatever the reason, the decision to choose adoption is ultimately rooted in love and a desire to give the child the best possible future.

Adoption Plans That Fit Your Needs

Your situation is unique, and that’s why various adoption plans allow you to choose the level of involvement that feels right for you. You’re in control every step of the way.

Open Adoption

In an open adoption, you select the adoptive family and remain involved in your child’s life to whatever degree feels comfortable. This can include communication through letters, photos, phone calls, or occasional visits. This option provides ongoing contact and peace of mind knowing how your child is doing.

Semi-Open Adoption

A semi-open adoption might be a good fit if you prefer more limited contact. This plan allows communication through a third party, such as an adoption agency or attorney. While your personal information remains confidential, you’ll still receive updates about your child’s well-being and milestones.

Closed Adoption

A closed adoption offers complete privacy. You and the adoptive family have no contact, and the courts seal your identifying information. This ensures that you have no further communication or connection with the adoptive parents after the process is complete.
