What are My Unplanned Pregnancy Options in Texas?
By Jan Douglas
An unplanned pregnancy can happen at any time or at any age. If you are a birth mother looking for adoption agencies in Dallas or anywhere across Texas, we can help. Modern adoption is vastly different than adoptions in the past. However, the language surrounding adoption can be from decades ago – “giving up my baby,” unwanted, unintended, or unexpected pregnancy. Adoption Choices of Texas understands, “By choosing adoption, you are choosing to make a thoughtful plan for your baby’s life.”
There are two options for unplanned pregnancy in Texas: continue the pregnancy and adoption. This last year made abortion illegal in Texas, except for a life-threatening medical emergency. Adoption Choices of Texas has locations in several cities across the state. We help birth mothers looking for information and support for adoption in Dallas. We can help if you are a birth mother looking for information for adoption in Austin or adoption in Houston, Tx.
If you need help with adoption now, you can call us at 945-444-0333, text us at 945-444-0333, or email us here.
The adoption process for a woman seeking information on an unplanned pregnancy.
- Contact a Texas adoption agency. Adoption Choices of Texas is here to answer all of your questions. We have assisted women in Texas’ adoption process for the last decade.
- Decide on your adoption plan. The birth mother chooses the type of adoption – open adoption, semi-open, or closed adoption. You decide the family that will parent your child. What resources are available to you? We will go over your needs. The birth mother establishes the kind of hospital and birth. And lastly, the counseling and support you would like.
- Involvement of the birth father. The birth father has parental rights in the adoption process in Texas. However, much depends on whether you are married and how involved he is in your life. Our knowledgeable counselors at Adoption Choices of Texas will assist you with this aspect of the adoption process.
- Choosing the adoptive family. You will determine how involved you would like to be in this process. It is an individual choice and is unique to each birth mother. Some birth mothers are gladly involved in meeting and deciding on the adoptive family, while others give this decision to the agency. Adoption Choices of Texas has experience in finding the perfect fit.
- Signing the adoption paperwork. The Texas adoption process allows the birth mother to sign the adoption papers 48 hours after giving birth. We help you understand the adoption process and encourage birth mothers to construct their adoption plan early in their pregnancy. We do not want anyone to feel hurried or pressured.
- Post-placement support program. Your adoption counselor will be available for ongoing support as long as the birth mother needs or wants.

Once I decide about putting my child up for adoption, what is an Adoption Plan?
Once a birth mother chooses to make the brave and loving decision to place her baby up for adoption, she will make an adoption plan. An adoption plan involves the unborn baby and the birth mother. An adoption plan includes the following:
- Type of Adoption
- Type of Family
- Type of Hospital and birth
