If you have an unplanned pregnancy, you have three options. You can try to parent your child, terminate your pregnancy, or choose adoption. If you aren’t sure which one is right for you, or even if you are already considering adoption in Gainesville, you are in the right place.

On this website, we will discuss the benefits of adoption for you, your child, and your child’s potential adoptive parents. On this page, we will introduce the first few steps of the adoption process in Florida to help you get started.

But before we get into all that, let us introduce ourselves.

Placing Your Child for Adoption Might Give You Peace of Mind

An unplanned pregnancy can be stressful. You have three options but may not be sure which one is right for you. Maybe you want to try parenting your child, but you currently don’t have the resources. Perhaps you’ve considered terminating your pregnancy, but you don’t have the money, it conflicts with your morals, or it just doesn’t seem right for you.

Adoption can be an excellent option, and one of the best things is you don’t have to choose now. Many parents decide to take their child home and try parenting if they aren’t sure about adoption. But, if you are sure you won’t be able to parent your child and want to give them a fresh start, many birth parents find peace of mind in placing their child for adoption.

In Gainesville, You Can Choose the Family Who Adopts Your Child

There are three types of adoption you can choose from while creating your adoption plan. Open adoption allows you to choose which family adopts your child. As the birth mother, you will look through the profiles on our website of prospective adoptive families. Then, you can choose one that you feel would be best for your child.

When selecting a family, some women consider religious views, lifestyles, parenting styles, and many other factors. Many women also want their child to go to a transcultural household or find it desirable when a couple already has children.

You choose your child’s adoptive family. You can even meet with them beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit. But, even if you choose a closed adoption, which doesn’t allow you to select the exact family that adopts your child, you can be confident that your child will go to a wonderful family with a stable home environment that wants to love your child. 

Your Child’s Adoptive Family Can Provide Them With a Life Full of Opportunity

We prescreen all the prospective adoptive families  to ensure that they can provide your child with a stable, loving home filled with opportunity.

Some aspects of our screening process include a home study, during which we walk around your child’s potential residence and interview all family members of the adoptive family. We also complete background checks, ensure financial stability, review medical history, and require letters of recommendation from non-family members.

Many women who consider placing their children for adoption worry that they will not be able to give their children the best life possible because of financial instability or other problems. When you choose adoption, you can be sure your child will have opportunities they may not have had otherwise. 

You May Still Be Able to Keep in Contact with Your Child

As previously mentioned, there are three types of adoption. These types all allow for varying degrees of contact between you and your birth child after the adoption finalizes. In a closed adoption, you have no contact. In a semi-open adoption, all contact occurs through the adoption agency. And, in an open adoption, you can have direct contact with your birth child’s family.

Open adoption is excellent for parents who want to maintain contact with their birth child. In an open adoption, you will work with your child’s adoptive parents to organize meetings and set boundaries, so you can still see and have contact with your birth child.

In Choosing Adoption, You Help Create a Family

The adoption process is a beautiful thing, and one of its key benefits is that, by choosing it, you help create a family. Placing your child for adoption is an act of generosity and can benefit everyone involved.

Starting the Adoption Process in Gainesville

The first step of the process is choosing adoption, but whether you’re there or you’re still just considering adoption, you can give us a call or check out one of our adoption agencies near you. But, once you make your choice, we will assign you to an adoption professional who will help you create your adoption plan and understand all the decisions you must make therein.
