Finding the Right Adoption Plan for You and Your Baby
You’re pregnant and considering adoption. This is likely one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. At Adoption by Shepherd Care, we understand the emotional complexity of this choice. Our fully licensed adoption agency provides compassionate support so you can make an informed decision that’s best for you and your baby; and to make an adoption plan if that’s your decided path.
Considering Adoption? You Have Options
If you’re wondering if adoption is right for you, please know you have options. Adoption exists in many forms, including open, semi-open, and closed adoptions. With open adoptions, you select the adoptive family yourself and develop a relationship with them. You can exchange letters, photos, and emails or occasionally meet after placement. Semi-open adoption provides some basic information sharing between birth and adoptive families. Closed adoption involves no future contact after placement.
The level of openness in adoption is up to you. Our qualified adoption counselors explain these arrangements so you can choose what’s most comfortable for your situation. Above all, we respect your preferences and privacy.
You Are In Control of the Adoption Plan
At Adoption by Shepherd Care, birth mothers drive the adoption process. We ensure you have total say in choosing the adoptive family for your baby. Reviewing adoptive parent profiles, you select the family you feel will provide the best life for your child. This sense of control reduces anxiety around placement.
During the adoption process, you also decide the desired level of future contact with your child and adoptive family. Define your ideal adoption relationship. Do you want to exchange letters and photos through the agency? Meet the adoptive parents in person? Have occasional visits with your child? We structure a customized adoption plan around your needs.
