ADOPTION INFORMATION
Learn more about open, closed, and semi-open adoptions and your legal rights.
Considering adoption?
While adoption is not something suitable for every situation and person, it is an option to consider during an unexpected pregnancy. At your pregnancy confirmation appointment, we can provide you with information while you decide if adoption is right for you.
While we are not an adoption agency, we can help you explore the options available to you from the type of plan to the type of family you want your child to have. Some of the different types of adoption plans include open, semi-open, and closed adoptions. When the birth mom makes an adoption plan, she (and the birth father) can both choose a family for the child and choose their own future.
Adoption resources
If you decide that adoption might be a good choice for you, we can provide you with a list of referrals of adoption agencies so you can research this option more thoroughly.
