Adoption
Included
in the state-mandated "Options Counseling" Problem Pregnancy provides is adoption information. Our counselors
have been professionally trained to provide initial
information about infant adoption. We are not an
adoption agency, but can refer you to an agency in your
area as well as support you through the process.
The decision to consider adoption is the beginning of
a process that you control. Nothing legal or binding can
be done prior to the birth of your baby.
As you make your decision a few questions for you to
consider are:
Q: How might adoption benefit
me?
A: A few ways may be:
-You can pursue
earlier goals and plans
-You will not have to parent
prematurely
-You would have the freedom to choose if
you want to have a long-term relationship with the
baby's father
Q: Is adoption
permanent?
A: Yes. Once placed, the child
becomes permanently and legally a member of the adoptive
family with full rights to inheritance and a lifetime
family relationship.
Q: Do you give
referrals to adoption agencies?
A: Yes we
do. There are several agencies to which we can refer
you.
To explore adoption further, please call us to set up
an appointment.
