Birth Mother Stories
Our experience with open adoption through Adoption Choices of Texas has been very positive. To us, open adoption means giving our child the best life possible, while still getting to be a part of it. We knew from the beginning that we wouldn’t be able to provide our son with everything he needed, so we agreed adoption was what was best for all three of us.
Morgan and MattMy experience with this agency is outstanding. Never could I ever imagined meeting people who cared so much about my needs and making sure that I was comfortable with this adoption. Adoption itself is a very complicated procedure and also a very emotional rollercoaster but with the help of Adoption Choices of Texas I got through it and now I have no regrets.
NickoleAre you asking, “How can I place my baby for adoption?”
Dealing with an unexpected or unwanted pregnancy can be hard and there is a lot to think about right now. Getting information about your options is the first step in empowering yourself to make the best choice for yourself and your child. At this point, you might be considering parenting, adoption, or abortion. It is important to give your options a lot of thought, and we are here to help you explore the adoption option.
Why Choose Adoption?
No one can tell you why you should or shouldn’t make an adoption plan. This decision is yours to make. The decision of making an adoption plan is obviously not an easy one, but sometimes it is the best choice you have. We are here to give you adoption information and counseling to provide you with resources that will help you make an informed decision.
Some things you may want to consider while making your decision are:
- Financial security
- Family involvement
- The stability of your home and relationships
- Your plans for the future
- What you think is best for your child
Every situation is unique and we cannot make a checklist of why anyone has to make an adoption plan. Hopefully these topics will help you start to make the decision about whether adoption is the right choice for you.
What is Open Adoption?
Modern adoption can allow you to create a relationship with your child’s adoptive parents that can give you as much, or as little, contact as you want.
Whether you want a more open adoption that includes regular communication and even visits, or a more closed adoption with more privacy and closure, Adoption Choices of Texas will help you make the adoption plan you want.
Counseling
You may be worried about what to do next, but at Adoption Choices of Texas a professional adoption counselor will be with you every step of the way. She will make sure that you are safe and stable. She will help you pick the adoptive family that is just right for you. She will even be there for you at the hospital. It is our commitment to you to provide the personal support you need to have a positive adoption experience.
We are not here to make your choices for you or to tell you that adoption will always be an easy solution. Adoption, even with ongoing contact after the adoption, can still be challenging and it can be natural to experience grief after the adoption. Your counselor will be there for you to help you process and deal with your emotions in a healthy way.
Financial Assistance
One of our top priorities is making sure you are safe an stable. Your adoption counselor will work on your needs and your budget to identify areas where we can help. During your pregnancy, and after it, it is important that you have safe housing, good medical care, healthy groceries, and reliable transportation. Part of our job is making sure these are all available to you.
Finding the Right Adoptive Family
If you choose adoption, the most important decision is picking a good “match” for you and your baby. This means finding a family that will have all the qualities you are looking for in a family for your child. Every family who works with Adoption Choices of Texas is carefully screened and background-checked to make sure they will be a safe, stable, and loving home for a child. We will only show you possible families if we believe they are great match for your adoption plan.
