Tennessee Adoption Made Simple: A Birth Mother’s Step-by-Step Guide

Choosing adoption is the most personal decision. If you’re a birth mother in Tennessee considering this path, you deserve a clear, supportive guide that explains what to expect. 

Connect With a Licensed Adoption Professional

Adoption must go through a licensed agency or attorney. This is your go-to team. They’ll:

• Answer your questions about the process.
• Explain your legal rights as a birth mother.
• Match you with adoptive families who meet your preferences.
• Provide counseling and support during (and after) your pregnancy.

Choosing the right professional is key. You should feel respected and heard—not pressured.

Create Your Adoption Plan

Your voice matters most. Your adoption plan lets you decide:

• Who will the adoptive parents be?
• What kind of contact do you want before and after the adoption?
• How do you want your hospital stay and delivery to go?

You are in charge of these decisions. Your adoption professional will walk you through the details, but you make every choice.

Meet the Adoptive Family 

Once you’ve reviewed waiting families’ profiles, you can meet them through phone calls, video chats, or in person. Many birth mothers say this step gives them peace of mind because they see firsthand the love and stability their child will have.

Birth Mothers, Take Time and Decide!

Adoption isn’t about walking away. It’s about stepping up in a new way that puts your baby’s future first. It’s a powerful act of love when you say, “I want my child to have more than I can give right now.” That’s selflessness (NOT selfishness!). That’s parenting with purpose.

Positive adoption language Disclaimer:  

Please understand that these blogs are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans. Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms who come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for pregnant moms is “How do I give up my baby for adoption?” If we do not include those words in our blog posts and instead put “How do I create an adoption plan for my baby,” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
