Considering Adoption?
If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, adoption may be an option worth exploring. Today, adoption plans are flexible and designed to support both you and your child. Zoe, A Women’s Center provides free, confidential information to help you understand how adoption works and what choices are available to you.
What is adoption?
Adoption is one possible option for someone facing an unplanned pregnancy. This option allows you to create a plan for your child’s future while choosing the level of involvement that feels right for you.
Modern adoptions give birth parents the opportunity to make informed decisions about placement, communication, and ongoing relationships.
Types of Adoption Plans
Open Adoption
Allows ongoing communication or contact between birth parents and the adoptive family, based on mutual agreement.
Semi-Open Adoption
Communication may occur through an agency or third party while maintaining privacy.
Closed Adoption
No identifying information or ongoing contact is shared after placement.
Creating an Adoption Plan
If you choose adoption, you remain in control of many decisions throughout the process. You may be able to:
choose the adoptive family
decide the level of future contact
create a birth plan for delivery
receive support throughout pregnancy and after placement
Zoe, A Women’s Center can help connect you with licensed adoption agencies and provide ongoing emotional support as you explore this option.
