Are You Considering Adoption?

Maybe an unplanned pregnancy caught you by surprise at this time in your life, and you may feel unfit or unequipped to parent right now. We understand this is a difficult time and decision to make.

You may be facing relationship challenges with your partner, financial hardship, or something else that makes your life difficult to bring a child into. Deciding on adoption and what’s best for your child is the most humble place to be.

When choosing adoption options, consider what type of long-term relationship you’d like with your child, if any. This will determine what type of adoption plan is best for you.

Choosing An Adoption Plan

After speaking with an adoption specialist or agency to work with, an adoption plan will be your next step. Most adoption plans are open or semi-open adoption. These adoption plans include exchanging information like names, addresses, or phone numbers with the adoptive family you choose.

Some women may choose closed adoption if needed for safety measures of another extreme case scenario. It’s completely up to you. Talk with your adoption specialist to find out what the specific adoption requirements are in your area.

Decide on an Adoptive Family

Since you are the birth mother, you have control over what adoption plan and the adoptive family you choose. Take the time to find the right family for you and your child.

After you’ve expressed the family you are looking for, the adoption specialist will share bios of families that most closely resemble what you’re looking for with you.

Thank you for being there from day one of my pregnancy. If it weren’t for you, my boyfriend and I probably would’ve made the wrong decision. I really appreciate the help and the information that was really important for me to know.

I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for me. I’ve met a lot of negative people in my life that made me feel that negative was all life had to offer but you gave me hope and that is priceless to me. Thank you so much and I promise to make you proud.

I never wanted an abortion but I might have had one had it not been for you. You made a difference in my life.

I am so happy that I am going to have a beautiful son. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t been there for me. You were there for me when no one else was.

Thank you for all of your help and encouragement during my pregnancy. It was the most difficult time of my life. I am so grateful I did not take the “easy” way out of a tough situation by having an abortion.

I just want to thank you for all you have done for me. I could not have done it on my own and I really appreciate the help you gave. I think it is a great thing you’re doing.

I write this short note thanking you guys for your support. Your support has really helped me along the way. Knowing that someone cared enough to call and wonder about me really made me feel good.

Thank you for taking the time to care and make that call that always made my day. Thank you a million times.

I don’t remember what was said on my visit to Birthright, but I do remember one thing: RELIEF. I think I actually smiled that night. At the time, my world was coming to an end. After coming to Birthright, a strength filled me. That is making a difference!

Thank you for being there since day one when I did my pregnancy test. It is nice to know there are still good people around. I can’t thank you enough for your support.

From the time when I was unsure of my pregnancy you’ve encouraged me and assured me that everything will work out. Thank you for all your support. You made a difference in my life.

Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t been there for me. You are so wonderful and caring. You were there for me when no one else was.
