What Does Adoption Look Like?

​

The first thing to know about adoption is that a lot has changed and it may not be what you think it is. Today the adoption process empowers the birthmother with countless choices. A woman considering this option is able to choose the family, where they live, how many kids in the family, religious background, economic level-whatever is important to her. Family options are endless. There are an estimated 2 million families waiting each year to adopt. In most instances there is no cost to the

birthmother.

Considering Adoption?

​

How much do you really know? Many women are

choosing adoption and are proud about their decision.

Some women do not feel ready to parent and see

adoption as an option that benefits everyone involved.

​

Researching your options is a smart step to take. This is

a choice that you need to think about carefully, but if you can't parent, no matter what the reason, adoption may be the right choice for you. The Heritage Pregnancy and Family Health Center would be glad to help you research this as an option for you.
