Choosing Adoption After You’ve Been Sexually Assaulted in Florida

The FL adoption process can seem overwhelming and daunting, and that is okay. It is normal to feel this way when you first look into the adoption process. There are many reasons why birth mothers choose to put their unborn baby up for adoption. It can be for financial reasons, unsupportive family members, not being ready to be a parent, or not wanting to be a parent, or the father is not in the picture anymore. Another reason why birth mothers might choose adoption is that they were sexually assaulted. Unfortunately, some women become pregnant after being sexually assaulted. It can be hard to decide on what to do next after discovering that you are pregnant after being sexually assaulted. It is okay to feel this way. Here at Adoption Choices of Florida, we know that choosing adoption after sexually tough, and we are here to help.

Why Birth Mothers Choose Adoption In Florida

Some birth mothers think about being a parent and raising their baby but ultimately decide against it because it reminds them of what happened and their attacker. If this is the case for you as well, you have two options. You can decide on terminating your pregnancy, or you can put your newborn baby adoption. There are some birth mothers that choose to place the baby up for adoption because they still want the child to have a future, even if it is not with them. Here at Adoption Choices of Florida, we are here to help you get the help you need.
