We provide pregnant women and birth mothers with the guidance and assistance they need in setting up their adoption plans. So, if you’re considering adoption in Florida or looking for more information, check out our adoption agencies near me.
Now, let’s talk about the adoption process.
The first step in the adoption process is choosing the adoption process. When you have an unplanned pregnancy, or any pregnancy, for that matter, you have three choices. You can try and raise your child, terminate your pregnancy, or place your child for adoption. Perhaps raising a child isn’t possible for you right now, and you don’t want to terminate your pregnancy.
An adoption is a wonderful option. By choosing adoption, you help create a family, not only for your birth child but for parents who may not be able to have children of their own or who want another child to enrich their lives. But in the end, you choose adoption because you believe it’s the best thing for you and your child.
Some women worry that because they have other life problems, they won’t be able to place their child for adoption. But, no matter your situation, whether you’ve had trouble with drugs or if you’re in prison, or if your child is already born, adoption is an option for you.
You also may wonder whether the father of your child needs to be involved in the adoption process. This question does not have a black and white answer. It depends on your case. If you are wondering whether the father of your child needs to be involved in your adoption process, give us a call or visit one of our adoption agencies near you.
After you choose adoption, we will assign you to one of our adoption professionals, who will help you create an adoption plan for your child. Your adoption professional will help you understand your options, but you will make all of the decisions, like which type of adoption is best for you.
Depending on which type of adoption you choose, open, semi-open, or closed, you will get to choose the family who adopts your child. With open adoption, you enable direct contact with your child and their adoptive family even after the adoption finalizes.
In the matching process, you will look through the prospective adoptive families on our website and choose the one that interests you. You may even meet with them before you finalize the adoption. Afterward, you will work together to establish boundaries and to determine when you may be able to visit your birth child.
When it’s time to have your baby, Adoption Choices of Florida can help. We offer emergency pregnancy services and want to make your delivery as comfortable as possible. After you give birth to your child, you will wait 48 hours before you sign the adoption papers. Again, depending on your situation, your birth child’s father may or may not need to sign.
After your adoption finalizes, you may feel the grief many birth mothers feel after placing their child for adoption. If you have an open adoption, you may be able to schedule a visit with your birth child and their family.
However, if this is not an option for you, and even if it is, the healthiest option can be to take advantage of the therapeutic services and support groups for all birth parents who place their children for adoption. It can be extremely helpful to talk to people who have undergone the same process and understand what you’re going through.
