Adoption is a great option for those who don’t feel ready to parent and don’t feel like abortion is right for them. When it comes to adoption, there are two types — open and closed.
Closed adoptions are for those who would like their adoptions to remain anonymous and do not feel comfortable having a relationship with the child or adoptive family after giving birth.
The most common form of adoption today is an open adoption. Open adoptions allow the mother to choose the family her child will be placed with and typically involves some form of relationship between the child and the birth mother, whether via photos, text, email, or visits.
Open adoption can be an incredibly empowering option. As the birth mother, you’ll be in control each step of the way, getting to make impactful choices for your child’s future.
