How to Give up a Newborn
for Adoption
You may notice that phrases like “give newborn up for adoption” or “give baby up for adoption” appear throughout our website. We understand that these terms are not considered adoption-friendly. While a birth mother legally relinquishes her parental rights, she never relinquishes her love or care for her child.
Using phrases like “gave her baby up for adoption” can imply that the birth mother made the wrong choice, which is not the case. Positive adoption language is very important to us, and we strive to use it whenever possible. At the same time, we include these more common phrases to reach expectant mothers who may not yet be familiar with the language of adoption, ensuring they can find the information and support they need.
Giving up a Newborn for Adoption: Processing Your Next Steps
When we communicate with expectant mothers, we use adoption-friendly language, such as “create an adoption plan” or “place your baby for adoption.” We ensure every birth mother understands that she is not giving up. Choosing adoption is one of the most brave, selfless, and loving decisions a mother can make. It reflects her deep care for her child and her desire to provide a safer, more stable, and loving future.
Once a birth mother decides to move forward with adoption, our dedicated coordinators at Private Child Adoption Agency are here to support her every step of the way — before, during, and after the birth — providing guidance, resources, and compassionate care throughout the entire journey.

A Birthmother’s Rights
You may be wondering what rights you have before and after you give your baby up for adoption. While this varies greatly from state to state, we can give you some general information.
Moving Forward after Giving Your Baby Up for Adoption
The adoption process can be very emotional for birthmothers. Even if they’re sure their decision to give their baby up for adoption was the right choice, they’re still likely to experience intense feelings of grief, doubt, denial, or guilt.
Nothing in life is certain, but wanting your child to have more than you can offer is the biggest act of love any human could do. Regardless of what some people may say, most people can’t believe the love that surrounds adoption and the closeness that can still be achieved regardless of who is raising the child.”
