Throughout our lives, we need the support of others when making important decisions. This is especially true when deciding how to handle an unplanned pregnancy.
When you’re unexpectedly pregnant, you can feel isolated and even scared. Everyone who learns about your pregnancy offers their opinion about what you should do, but are they truly listening to you?
You need emotional and physical support, especially if you’re considering placing your child for adoption. Let’s take a closer look at how the adoption specialists at New Life Adoptions can help you as you consider this important decision.
Is Adoption the Right Choice For You?
Most people are unaware of the changes adoption has undergone in the last few decades. They still believe that strangers whisk your baby away and you never hear about them again. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Today, the expectant mother makes all the decisions. She chooses the adoptive couple who raises her child and determines the amount of contact she wishes to have as her child grows.
Because adoption is so misunderstood, your family and friends may not be supportive. You need compassionate support to help you determine if adoption is the right choice.
At New Life, we’ll listen carefully to understand what matters most to you. Do you want to look at the possibility of parenting? We’ll review that with you. We even provide a guide to help you determine your next steps.
Our goal is to ensure you are confident with whatever direction you choose.
What Support Is Available if I Choose Adoption?
We understand the importance of the decision you’re making. This can be a stressful time. You need both physical and emotional support.
The adoption-related services we provide are offered to you at no cost. These services include thorough counseling, adoption education, medical referrals, and financial assistance for practical needs.
Compassionate support also means actively listening to understand your heart for your child. You have decisions to make within the adoption process, and we’ll walk through those with you.
We’ll work together when it’s time to select the adoptive family. As you share what’s important to you, you’ll have the opportunity to view potential adoptive couples’ profiles.
Our adoption specialists will also explain the various plans that provide the type of contact you want to have with your chosen adoptive family. We’ll talk about the pros and cons of an open, semi-open, or closed adoption.
As you move through the process, we’ll talk about how you’re feeling and what you’re thinking. You’re always free to change your mind until you sign legal papers after your baby is born.
