Finding out about your unexpected pregnancy can make you feel scared, confused, hopeful, and overwhelmed. If you are exploring your options, adoption agencies or adoption attorneys may be on your list. For many women, adoption is not about “giving up” a child. It’s about making a thoughtful, loving decision based on what feels right for both you and your baby.
You Don’t Have to Decide Right Away
One of the most important things to remember is that you do not have to have all the answers today. Considering adoption can raise difficult questions:
- Am I ready to parent right now?
- What kind of future do I want for my child?
- What would the adoption process look like?
- Can I choose the adoptive family for my baby?
- Will I be able to stay in contact?
These are normal questions, and taking time to explore them is part of making an informed decision. Adoption is deeply personal, and you deserve space to think through what feels best for you.

Choose the Adoptive Family
You can review profiles of adoptive families and learn about their lives, values, parenting goals, and hopes for the future. It allows you to choose a family that aligns with what you want for your child.
You Can Decide the Type of Adoption
There are several types of adoption plans, including:
- Open Adoption
- Semi-Open Adoption
- Closed Adoption
You Can Help Shape the Process
From the amount of contact you want to the details of your adoption plan; your voice is important. Adoption today is often far more personalized.
Getting Information Is Not a Commitment
Reaching out to learn more about adoption does not mean you are committing to placing your baby for adoption. It simply means you are gathering information.

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.
