Adoption for My Baby: How to Make a Loving and Informed Decision

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming. If you’re thinking about adoption for your baby, remember that you are not alone, and you are not “giving up.” You are considering a decision rooted in love, courage, and hope for a better future—for your child and yourself.

Take Your Time — You Deserve It

There’s no rush. You have the right to take the time to explore your feelings, options, and future. Adoption is a big decision — one that deserves your careful thought. You should never feel pressured. Allow yourself to sit with your feelings, ask questions, and imagine the possibilities for you and your baby.

Get the Facts About Adoption

Adoption today is different from what many people think. As a birthmother, you have choices, including:

• Choosing the adoptive family for your baby
• Deciding on the level of openness (open, semi-open, or closed adoption)
• Creating a personalized adoption plan that fits your needs and hopes

• Want to have an ongoing relationship with your child and the adoptive family- choose an open adoption.
• Don’t want to be personally involved in your child’s life but want to know how the child is doing- choose semi-open adoption.
• Don’t want to have contact with the adoptive family and the child after adoption- choose closed adoption.

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.
