Pregnant and Considering Adoption?
You are not alone. We are here to guide you every step of the way.
An unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming. You may be experiencing a mix of emotions, uncertainty, fear, love, and hope. This is your journey, and your choice matters. We are here to provide understanding, information, and support so you can make the decision that feels right for you and your baby. Whether you want to explore open adoption, closed adoption, or just need to understand your options, we’ll listen without judgment and walk with you through the process.
The Adoption Process, Step by Step
Clear guidance so you always know what comes next.
The adoption process may seem complicated at first, but we make it simple and transparent.
You remain in control from start to finish, and we’ll walk with you every step of the way:
- Reach Out — Contact us anytime, day or night, to share your situation and ask questions.
- Learn Your Options — When it comes to your baby, you have options which include but are not limited to parenting, asking family and friends for help, asking the state for help, or making a safe, secure, and permanent adoption plan. If you choose to make an adoption plan, we will explain the process, the differences between open, semi-open, and closed adoption, and will help you choose what feels right for you.
- Create Your Plan — Decide your level of involvement, the type of family you want to select, and the level of openness you wish to have during the process and after.
- Choose the Family — View detailed letters, photos, and personal stories to find the right adoptive parents.
- Build Your Relationship — If you wish, you can meet or communicate with the adoptive family before the birth.
- Delivery and Placement — We will help you create a hospital plan which will outline your wishes during your hospital stay.
- Post-Adoption Contact — Stay connected with updates, photos, or visits — or keep your privacy if you prefer.
We are here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and respected throughout the process.
The Benefits of Choosing Adoption
Creating a brighter future for your baby, and for yourself.
Adoption is a loving decision that can bring hope, stability, and new opportunities for everyone involved.
You will have peace of mind knowing you have made a thoughtful and loving choice for your baby’s future.
Adoption is not about “giving up” your baby, it’s about giving them the life you dream of, while honoring your needs and future.
Finding the Right Family for Your Baby
You choose the family that feels right, we help make the connection.
Choosing an adoptive family is one of the most personal and meaningful steps in the adoption journey. You are in control of this decision. We will provide everything you need to make it with confidence.
- Browse Family Profiles — View photos, personal stories, and background information about hopeful parents.
- Explore All Family Types — Couples, single parents, and LGBTQ+ families, all carefully screened and approved.
- Look for Shared Values — Learn about their lifestyle, traditions, and parenting approach to find the best fit.
- Connect on Your Terms — Communicate by phone, text, video chat, or email, only if and when you feel ready.
When you find the family that feels right, you’ll know, and we’ll help you take the next step toward building that connection.
If you choose adoption, you will not have to carry the financial burden of pregnancy alone. In many cases, adoptive families can cover approved living and medical expenses, allowing you to focus on your well-being and your baby’s health.
Covered Living Expenses May Include:
- Relocation Services
- Rent or housing costs
- Utilities
- Groceries and basic household needs
- Transportation
- Cell Phone
- Maternity clothing
Medical Expenses May Include:
- Prenatal care
- Doctor visits and hospital delivery
- Prescription medications related to pregnancy
- Counseling or emotional support services
We will work with you to make sure your needs are met and all allowable expenses are handled with care and confidentiality.
Living and Medical Expenses Covered
So you can focus on your health and your baby.
Involving the Father of the Baby
Respecting your situation while protecting your rights.
Every pregnancy is unique, and the father’s role in the adoption process can vary. Whether the father is supportive, unsure, or not involved, we will help you understand your options and the legal requirements in your state.
If the father is involved and supportive, he can take part in creating the adoption plan, selecting the adoptive family, and deciding on the type of adoption. If he is not involved or you feel unsafe contacting him, we can guide you through the process while ensuring your privacy and safety.
Your safety, comfort, and rights come first — always.
If your baby is already born, adoption is still an option. Whether you’ve just delivered, are still in the hospital, or have been caring for your baby at home, we can help you create an adoption plan that feels right for both of you.
You will still have the ability to:
- Choose the adoptive family
- Decide on the type of adoption (open, semi-open, or closed)
- Receive emotional and practical support during the process
- Have your wishes respected every step of the way
No matter when you decide, adoption can still give your child a stable and loving home while giving you peace of mind.
Placing a Baby for Adoption After Birth
It’s never too late to make a loving choice.
Does Adoption Cost Anything?
No fees, no hidden charges, adoption is free for you.
As a birth mother, you will never have to pay for adoption services. In fact, in many cases, adoptive families can help cover approved living and medical expenses during your pregnancy. Our role is to make sure you receive the care and support you need without financial pressure.
There are no application fees, legal fees, or any costs for you. Everything from creating your adoption plan to connecting with a family, handling the legal process, and arranging post-adoption contact is provided at no cost.
Adoption is a lifelong decision, and your emotional well-being matters just as much after placement as it does during your pregnancy. We offer ongoing support to help you process your feelings, navigate life after adoption, and stay connected if you choose an open or semi-open arrangement.
Our post-adoption support may include:
- Counseling and emotional support
- Assistance with post-adoption communication
- Referrals to community resources
You are not forgotten after placement.
Support That Continues After Placement
Because your journey doesn’t end the day your baby is placed.

You have the right to:
- Choose or change your adoption plan before signing legal consent
- Select the adoptive family or ask for help in making that choice
- Decide the level of openness in your adoption
- Receive approved living and medical expense assistance where allowed by law
- Be treated with dignity and respect
