Giving a Baby Up for Adoption: How to Choose the Right Adoption Plan

Discovering you are unexpectedly pregnant can bring a whirlwind of emotions. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. If giving your baby up for adoption has crossed your mind, you are considering every path toward giving your child the best possible start in life.

What Modern Adoption Really Looks Like

Adoption today is not about giving up your baby — it’s about making a plan for your baby’s future. You have choices, and you remain in control. You can decide how open or private you want your adoption to be:

• Open Adoption – Stay connected through photos, updates, and even visits.
• Semi-Open Adoption – Keep some contact through a trusted intermediary.
• Closed Adoption – Maintain your privacy while knowing your baby is safe and loved.

You Have the Power to Choose the Right Family

One of the most meaningful parts of adoption is knowing you get to choose the family who will raise your child.

Perhaps you envision a couple with children, or maybe a single parent. You may want a family that shares your faith, traditions, or values. You might even want them to live nearby so your child grows up close to home.

Whatever your vision looks like, Kirsh & Kirsh will help you explore adoptive family profiles, answer your questions, and even arrange meetings — only if and when you feel ready.

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,” our website will not appear in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
