Why choose adoption?
Facing an Unplanned Pregnancy?
There are many personal and valid reasons why a birthmother may consider adoption. You may be unable to provide financial stability, feel emotionally unprepared to raise a child, lack support from family, or be in an unstable relationship with the birth father. Every adoption journey is unique, and no reason for choosing adoption is more or less important than another. What matters most is making the decision that’s right for you and your baby.
How do I put my baby up for adoption?
The First Step in the Adoption Process
The journey begins by contacting a trusted adoption agency, like Private Child Adoption Agency. If you choose to work with us, we’ll be your dedicated guide and support system every step of the way. You’ll have the opportunity to view profiles of loving adoptive families and choose the one you feel is right for your baby. Together, we’ll create a personalized adoption plan that reflects your wishes — from deciding between an open or closed adoption, to who will be with you during delivery, to your post-adoption plans.
Will it cost me anything to put my baby up for adoption?
No. As a birthmother, all of our counseling and services are provided at no cost to you.
Is financial assistance available for me?
Yes! Depending on the laws in your state, your baby’s adoptive parents will pay for your legal fees, reasonable pregnancy-related expenses, and medical bills that are not covered by insurance or public aid.
Can my parents prevent me from putting my baby up for adoption?
No. Adoption is entirely your choice. Your parents cannot legally prevent you from putting your baby up for adoption.
Can I be involved in choosing my baby’s adoptive family?
Yes. As a birthmother, you have the freedom to browse our adoptive family profiles and select a family you feel is the best match for you and your baby. We’ll guide you through the process and help you connect with them in a way that feels comfortable for you. If you’d like, you can spend time getting to know them — whether that’s meeting for dinner, attending doctor’s appointments together, talking on the phone, or exchanging letters. The level of contact is entirely your choice, and we’ll support whatever type of relationship you feel is right.
What should I look for in an adoptive family?
What you look for in an adoptive family is entirely your choice. Before deciding, think about your hopes and dreams for your baby’s future. Then, compare that vision to what you see in each adoptive family. You might ask yourself:
Do I want a traditional, two-parent household?
Is there a certain state or region I’d prefer the family to live in?
Would I like my baby to have a stay-at-home parent?
Is religion important to me?
Our team can also help you create a personalized list of questions to ask adoptive families, so you feel confident and at peace with your choice.
How are adoptive families screened?
Every adoptive parent working with Angel Adoption has been thoroughly evaluated through a licensed agency’s home study process. This comprehensive review includes:
Assessments of the parents’ character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history
Criminal background and child abuse registry checks
An in-home inspection to ensure a safe, nurturing environment for a child
Education on adoption and parenting best practices
Even after a baby is placed, a social worker continues to monitor and support the family to ensure your baby’s well-being. We go to great lengths to make sure every family you can choose from is fully prepared to provide a loving, stable, and supportive home.
What are the types of adoption I can choose from?
You have the option of choosing an open adoption, a semi-open adoption, or a closed adoption. In a closed adoption, you and the adoptive parents remain anonymous for the entire process. With an open adoption or semi-open adoption, you can choose the adoptive family and decide on the amount of contact during and after the adoption.
What if I am in labor and haven’t made an adoption plan yet? Can I still choose adoption?
Yes, you can still choose adoption. We do receive calls and messages from birthmothers who are in labor or who have already had their baby and are in the hospital. If you’ve decided to put your baby up for adoption, you can contact us anytime — we are here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once we receive your call, we can have an adoptive family available for your baby within hours. The adoptive parents will take the baby home with them from the hospital, avoiding any need for foster care.
