Are you considering adoption after finding out you’re pregnant? Maybe circumstances in your life aren’t lining up for you to be able to financially support a child. An adoption could be a great option for you.
Adoption has improved a lot over the years, giving you as the birth mother much more of a say in the process. When choosing adoption, a woman isn’t “giving up a baby” but instead placing a child with a loving family that she has the option to choose.
Types of Adoption Plans
Every woman’s adoption journey is different. You could desire complete privacy or you may want be involved in your child’s life. No matter what, decide on a plan that best fits with your beliefs and lifestyle.
Here are the three available adoption plans to choose from:
- Open adoption: As the birth mother, you can choose the child’s adoptive family and form a relationship with them. Communication is made through phone calls, letters, or regular visits.
- Semi-open adoption: The birth mother has contact with the adoptive family, but all communication is done through a third party, like an adoption agency or attorney.
- Closed adoption: A closed adoption ensures that all identifying records are sealed. The birth mother remains anonymous, with no contact between her and the adoptive family.
