IS ADOPTION AN OPTION FOR ME?

No one ever feels ready for adoption, but know you’re not alone. You could be hesitant about parenting because you don’t feel financially or emotionally ready. No matter what pregnancy decision you choose, you will always be a mother.

Adoption is a difficult decision to make but the decision is ultimately yours. It’s a journey of sacrifice and love that could be best for your child’s future.

ADOPTION PLANS

There are multiple adoption plans to choose from depending on what your lifestyle is like and what kind of relationship you’d like with your child.

1. OPEN ADOPTION

The most common type of adoption is open adoption. Open adoption allows you to have open communication with the adoptive family and exchange names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Both parties work together to schedule visits with one another and your child. It’s up to both parties to build the type of relationship they would like.

2. CLOSED ADOPTION

With closed adoption, the adoptive family and birth mother remain anonymous and the child’s birth certificate and identifying information are sealed after everything is finalized with the adoption. Women who choose this adoption plan feel they receive some sort of closure and privacy.

3. SEMI-OPEN ADOPTION

Semi-open adoption is a blend of open and closed adoption. All communication is done by the adoption agency or specialist of your choosing.
