An adoption is an option many women choose for a variety of reasons. One reason is that this option allows hopeful couples to grow and complete their families, a lifetime gift. Additionally, several options under the adoption umbrella enable women to personally tailor what adoption will look like for them and their children.
Options include:
Open Adoption: All types of contact are shared, and the adopted child maintains a relationship with their birth parents.
Semi-Open Adoption: Pre- and post-placement phone calls, emails, meetings, and information is mediated through an adoption professional. The more contact and information shared, the more open the relationship can become. Women can choose and agree with the adopted family on how many contacts they will participate in.
Closed Adoption: The birth mother chooses not to have any contact with the adoptive family or child; all identifying records are legally sealed.
Adoption is a completely free pregnancy option, as all of your medical costs would be covered through the adoption agency our Center works with. Additionally, you have freedom in deciding how you want to move forward in your relationship with your child, as well as the choice to determine which family they are placed with.
