Choosing adoption is a deeply personal decision, and it’s natural to have questions about how the process works and what options are available. At Life Choices Pregnancy Care Center, we are here to provide compassionate support and accurate information to help you decide if adoption is right for you.
How Adoption Works
Adoption is a legal process where you choose to place your child with another family who will raise and care for them. As the birth mother, you have control over many aspects of the adoption process, including selecting the family and determining the level of involvement you’d like to have. Adoption allows you to create a plan that aligns with your values and circumstances while providing a loving home for your child.
Types of Adoption Plans
There are three main types of adoption plans:
Open Adoption
In an open adoption, you maintain contact with the adoptive family and child. This can include phone calls, letters, or in-person visits, depending on what everyone agrees to.
Semi-Open Adoption
In this type of adoption, communication happens through a third party, such as an adoption agency, to maintain some level of privacy while still allowing updates and occasional contact.
Closed Adoption
In a closed adoption, there is no ongoing contact between you and the adoptive family after the process is finalized. This option ensures privacy for both parties. While this is rare today, it might be the best option if you need to maintain confidentiality.
