What is an Adoption Plan?
An adoption plan is a personalized roadmap for your adoption journey. It’s a plan you create, with our guidance, to outline your preferences, desires, and decisions for your child’s future. Whether you are facing an unplanned pregnancy and you’re just beginning to explore your options or you’ve already decided that adoption is right for you, crafting an adoption plan is a powerful step in taking control of your situation.
Why Create an Adoption Plan?
You are likely in a difficult circumstance. Maybe you are unexpectedly pregnant and don’t want to parent or you don’t want to have a child (or another child). Perhaps you are a victim of abuse or don’t know who the birth father is. Some women are not in good financial situations or are homeless, or addicted to substance. If DCS is involved in your life and you know your child will immediately be placed in the foster care system, creating an adoption plan is an option. For any reason, for all reasons, an adoption plan might be the best option for you and your unborn or newborn baby. Consider a few of the benefits:
Empowerment: The adoption plan allows you to make key decisions about your child’s future, including choosing the adoptive family, deciding on the level of contact you’d like to maintain, and more.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your wishes are respected and documented can bring a sense of peace during this emotional time.
Support & Guidance: You won’t be alone in this process. Our caring team at Tapestry Adoptions will be with you every step of the way, providing the support you need to make informed decisions.
