Open Adoption

Choose the adoptive parents. Meet them and talk with them before you decide. There are SO many couples waiting to adopt, that you get to call the shots.

Choose according to your preferences. Faith, occupation, race, work situation, education. Stay-at-home mom or career mom. There are SO many couples waiting to adopt, YOU get to make these decisions. You are in the ‘drivers seat’.

Choose from many kinds of adoption. You can discuss what happens after placement … whether you’ll be in touch in the future, and what that relationship might look like. Most people now see how open adoption benefits all parties because they realize that more openness means less secrecy and honest answers for curious kids as they grow.

In today's adoptions, you can know your child and be a part of your child's life. You can have the peace of knowing your child is loved and cared for by the couple you choose. 

Open adoption allows YOU to:

• Give life and create a new family,

• Stay in touch with your child, and know that s/he has a good life with parents who can love and provide for him/her.

• Stay in school, complete your education,

• Reach for your life goals, live out your plans,

• Parent later, when things are more secure and you’re ready,

• Avoid the financial burden of parenting,

• Decide whether you want to have a long-term relationship with the baby’s father,

Every woman's situation is different, and only you can decide what is best in your case. If you are trying to decide if adoption is the right option for you, you may find it helpful to meet with a counselor or Social Worker.
