Many women who experience unplanned pregnancies decide that they will not be able to nurture their babies after birth. But they can still set them up for a happy life with the perfect family. If you’re expecting to give birth in the coming months but don’t have the resources to raise a child, consider signing up for the baby adoption process to find a loving home for your child.
It’s normal for birthmothers to be uncertain about how to get their child adopted. At Abby’s One True Gift Adoptions, we’ll help you through every step so that your baby goes home with a family that feels right to you. We make our adoption process as stress-free and accommodating as possible by setting you up with prospective families that meet your personal criteria.
What Are the Benefits of the Adoption Process for Birthmothers?
Today, birthmothers have more options than ever before when “giving their newborn up” for adoption. Depending on the type of future you’d like for you and your baby, you can be as involved in the process as you desire.
There are three different types of adoptions that can provide you with the level of connection or privacy you desire:
- Open: With an open adoption, you’ll be able to maintain a close connection with your child and their adoptive parents. This means you can exchange everything from pictures to phone calls and even set up visits with the adoptive family.
- Semi-open: Choosing a semi-open adoption will still provide you with some level of connection, but it will be more limited. Ccommunication will take place through the adoption agency.
- Closed: Some birthmothers may feel more comfortable choosing a closed adoption, which provides the most privacy. Your identity will remain confidential, and there will be no communication between you and the adoptive family.
Complete the Birthmother Application
If you’re looking to “give your baby up” for adoption to the perfect parents, your journey begins with our online birthmother application. Our simple form requests some basic information, and it will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We’ll ask for details regarding your background, adoption preferences, monthly expenses and more.
We Present Prospective Adoptive Families
Once you complete the application form, our agency will send you an information packet to fill out and return to us. After you’re approved, we’ll give you a list of prospective adoptive families that match the standards and requirements indicated on your application.
Unlike other agencies, we do not typically use “Dear Birthmother” letters in the adoption procedure. We’ve found that the strongest matches don’t come from decisions based on photos and images of the adoptive family, but rather their personal qualities and characteristics.
Meet Any Family You Desire
After we compile an assortment of potential families, you can choose to chat with any of the listed couples. We’ll organize a conference call with each family you’re interested in, where you will get a chance to ask questions and generally get to know your prospective pairings. After each call, your coordinator will get in touch with you to discuss your impressions of the family and help you determine if they’re a great fit to raise your child.
If you find that you’re not completely satisfied with the family you spoke to or simply want to look at more options to ensure you make the right choice, no problem! We want you to feel confident and excited about your decision. Our agency will continue to find families and coordinate calls until you’re positive you’ve found an adoptive family that’s perfect for you.
