You Can Choose the Adoptive Family & the Type of Adoption
Finding adoptive parents who want the same thing for your baby as you do can be pretty challenging. But it is your decision to make and no one else’s.

If there’s a family you’re interested to know more about, you can get in touch with our team, and we’ll set up a meeting for you to get to know each other.
Today, birth parents can choose between open, semi-open, and closed adoptions. Based on your child’s interests and goals, you can choose how involved you want to be in your child’s life. If you’d like an open or semi-open adoption plan, you can discuss your expectations with potential adoptive parents before selecting the lucky family.

Focus on Yourself
Giving your child up for adoption isn’t just beneficial to your child, but to you too. Many parents choose adoptive care for their children because they don’t feel ready to be parents themselves.
