For a birth mother considering adoption, it is crucial to have support during and after the pregnancy. There are things you should know and expect when it comes to placing your child for adoption. It is your child, your choice, and ultimately, your decision to choose adoption.

What can you expect as a birth mother?

Here are some of your birth mother benefits and expenses you should know about if you’re a birth mother considering adoption with Adoption Choices of Texas.

Pregnancy can be a strain on you both physically and financially. Adoption Choices of Texas can assist you with financial support and proper nutrition, including Food Stamps, WIC, and ongoing grocery expenses. As a birth mother, placing your child for adoption, you are ultimately in charge of the adoption plan. By making choices that feel right to you, you can make a difficult situation better. Remember, you are not giving up a baby, you are choosing the best adoption plan.

Some of your other choices include:

  • Choose the family who will adopt your child: as a birth mother choosing adoption, you will receive several options of potential families who want to adopt your child. You may also meet the family you choose to make sure you feel comfortable with them.
  • Choose from an open, semi-open, or closed adoption plan depending on your preference on post adoption contact agreement.
  • Choose to receive updates, photos, and correspond even after the pregnancy with the adoptive parents.
  • Receive support and assistance from an attorney specializing in adoption law and from a caseworker or social worker who will support you emotionally during and after the adoption process.
  • Receive financial assistance to pay for your living expenses.

You have enough stress without worrying whether the phone bill can be paid or you can afford healthy groceries.
