Putting Your Baby Up for Adoption: How to Proceed

putting your baby up for adoption

As a woman considering adoption, we know you’ve got a lot on your mind, especially when it comes to putting your baby up for adoption. We understand that this adoption process can be confusing, so we’re here to walk you through each step one by one.

Adoption by Shepherd Care is the oldest adoption agency in Florida. With 100+ years of experience, we are one of the most popular adoption agencies in Florida, which birth mothers mostly rely on.

Steps for Putting Your Baby Up for Adoption 

  • Contact us if you are looking for unplanned pregnancy help. Our team works 24/7 to explain adoption options. We are ready to support birth mothers. Based on the discussion, we will help you to get unplanned pregnancy help in your adoption journey.
  • The next step is to create an adoption plan for your baby. You can choose from open, semi-open, or closed adoption. We can help you create a custom adoption plan.
  • Once you have selected the adoption plan for your child, another important thing is to find the right family for your baby. As a mother, you are responsible for giving your child a forever home. You can choose the right family, or we can help you find the best family from our list of pre-verified and pre-screened families.
  • Birth mothers may need assistance during their pregnancy period. So, we help them get the help they require during their pregnancy.
  • Once the placement ends, you need to return to your normal life. We know it won’t be easy for a mother to return to her life before pregnancy. We’ll craft a post-adoption plan for you.

Official Statement from
Adoption by Shepherd Care

It has come to our attention that the Hulu series Good American Family contains inaccurate information regarding Adoption by Shepherd Care (ASC) and the adoption of Natalia. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the facts.

Contrary to what is presented in the documentary, ASC did not initiate any communication or have any involvement with Mr. or Mrs. Barnett in connection to Natalia’s adoption. The legal adoption process for Natalia was completed in the state of New Hampshire, where the original adoptive family resided, and was facilitated through a New Hampshire-based agency—not Adoption by Shepherd Care.

For those seeking further clarification, we encourage you to watch The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, Season 2, Episode 1, which clearly states that Adoption by Shepherd Care was not the agency responsible for facilitating this adoption.

We want to express our respect for all agencies and professionals engaged in this vital work. However, it is essential that accurate information is shared with the public and that the correct entities are acknowledged for their role in any adoption process.

At Adoption by Shepherd Care, we remain steadfast in our mission to place children in safe, loving, and permanent homes. We uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethical practice, and compassion for the children and families we serve.

We respectfully request that the media and members of the public refrain from further spreading misinformation related to this matter. While we understand the interest in this case, we also urge respect for the privacy and dignity of all individuals involved. Adoption is a deeply personal and emotional journey that must be approached with sensitivity and integrity.

Adoption by Shepherd Care will continue its unwavering commitment to finding loving and permanent placements for children, guided by the principles of honesty, compassion, and respect.
