Adoption
Included in the state-mandated "Options Counseling" A Woman's Concern provides is adoption information. Our counselors have been professionally trained to provide initial information about infant adoption. We are not an adoption agency, but can refer you to an agency in your area as well as support you through the process.
The decision to consider adoption is the beginning of a process that you control. Nothing legal or binding can be done prior to the birth of your baby.
As you make your decision a few questions for you to consider are:
Q: How might adoption benefit me?
A: A few ways may be:
-You can pursue earlier goals and plans
-You will not have to parent prematurely
-You would have the freedom to choose if you want to have a long-term relationship with the baby's father
Q: Is adoption permanent?
A: Yes. Once placed, the child becomes permanently and legally a member of the adoptive family with full rights to inheritance and a lifetime family relationship.
Q: Do you give referrals to adoption agencies?
A: Yes we do. There are several agencies to which we can refer you.
To explore adoption further, please call us to set up an appointment.
