If you have an unexpected pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, unwanted pregnancy, or untimely pregnancy and are thinking about giving your baby up for adoption, or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby, and you may want to think about the following:

  1. As much as you may want to “undo” the pregnancy, you cannot. Abortion will end the pregnancy but not change the fact of the pregnancy.  Therefore, you need to think about what impact the decision you make now will affect you going forward.
  2. If you were not trying to get pregnant and were not now pregnant, would this be the time in your life when you would plan to have a child?
  3. What goals do you have for yourself? How will raising a child or another child impact those goals? (If you don’t have goals for yourself – why not?)
  4. What goals do you have for the child you are now carrying? Does your parenting the child or making an adoption plan or another alternative give you the best chance of assuring that your child reaches those goals?

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER:  Please understand that these blog posts 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 that come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for expectant 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 mom’s search results in Google.

The way you answer has huge consequences for the birthmother, you, and the child. Therefore, take time to think about it before you answer. Obviously, your friend – the birthmother – must trust you, and you may feel honored for her to have even asked you the question. In deciding what to do, here are a few things to consider:

  1. Most importantly, do you want a child (or another child if you already have a child or children)? If the answer is not 100% “Yes,” there is no need to read further. You have your answer. 
  2. Unless you are the father of the baby, it is NOT your responsibility to assume the life-long commitment of parenting the child, no matter how desperate your friend is. Do not feel obligated to help your friend.
  3. How will your parenting the child affect your relationship with your friend? What if she wants to make parenting decisions for you, especially if those decisions differ from yours? What if she starts treating you more like a babysitter than the parent of the child? What if, etc?
  4. What is in the child’s best interests? Should you suggest to your friend that she consider other options, such as having a family member of hers help, temporary foster care, or adoption?

Great Question and a reason you should work with an experienced, ethical adoption professional, whether it is a national adoption agency, local adoption agency, or adoption professionals like the adoption law firm of Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (Kirsh & Kirsh). The four Kirsh attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience arranging adoptions. Also, Kirsh & Kirsh has been in existence since 1981 and has over 600 5-star Google reviews. 

Secondly, you should consider a wide variety of prospective adoptive parents. It is not likely you would marry the first person you dated! If your best friend tells you that she knows a family who wants to adopt and you choose that family, you have based your decision on the recommendation of, perhaps, a well-intentioned friend, but probably not a person qualified to determine if her friend has the qualifications to adopt much less provide the necessary opportunities, support, and guidance for your child to live a productive, happy life.  Again, the experience of Kirsh & Kirsh will provide you with additional peace of mind.

Thirdly, adoption professionals like Kirsh & Kirsh will give you the opportunity to read about, talk with, and even meet prospective adoptive parents, if you wish. Trust your instincts. It will not take long for you to feel a connection with prospective adoptive parents or not. 

Lastly, and most importantly you need to understand that in life, there are no guarantees about anything. Frankly, if you are being honest with yourself, you will realize there are no guarantees that if you decide to parent your child, you will have made the best decision for your child. All you can do with any important life-decision is gather as much information as possible, trust your instincts, and have faith that things will work out for the best.
