Is Adoption Still An Option

Yes, whether you are just getting home from the hospital with an infant or life circumstances have made it impossible to parent an older child through the age of 10. We can help you find the right family for your child.

Exploring Your Options

It is important to know your rights and get the facts about adoption. Giving a baby up for adoption can be an extremely difficult decision, but it can also be extremely empowering. Adoption can be considered an act of love, and it can provide a baby with a chance to have a comfortable, loving home and to have access to resources that may not be given otherwise.

Resources Available To You

We have counselors and mentors on staff to meet with you and show you resources when you decide giving a baby up for adoption is your final decision. There is no obligation to meet. A cup of coffee or a phone to discuss what’s right for you.

Understand
Your Emotions

If you are considering relinquishing a child to the state, it is important to realize where those feelings may be coming from. Is it a temporary issue that may be resolved with respite care?

Are there other issues that may be affecting your parenting abilities, like drugs, domestic violence or homelessness. Giving up a child for adoption can be beneficial for their future by providing them with the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Only you have the answers to these questions. Everyone gets stressed and wonders if they can parent well, but if you are considering giving a baby up for adoption or even a sibling group up for adoption, there are loving families who would love to adopt. In many situations, you can continue to have an on-going relationship with them, although it would not be the same as parenting.
