Pregnant and Can’t Afford the Baby? Find Support and Resources

If you are pregnant and can’t afford to raise the baby, you may be carrying a lot of questions right now. It is completely normal to feel uncertain about what comes next. You may also be worried that reaching out for information or speaking with an adoption attorney will cost money. However, adoption-related services for expectant mothers are provided at no cost, so you can explore your options and get the answers you need without financial pressure. 

Whatever you are experiencing, you deserve support, accurate information, and the opportunity to make the decision that feels right for you and your baby. 

Learning About Adoption Does Not Commit You to Anything 

Taking the time to learn about adoption does not mean you have decided to place your baby. It simply means you are gathering information and exploring what may be best for your situation.  

You Do Not Have to Navigate This Alone 

One of the biggest myths about adoption is that you have to make a decision quickly. That is not true. Adoption is a major decision, and it is okay to take your time. You can ask questions, gather information, and learn about the process before deciding what is best for you and your baby.

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.
