We believe that mothers experiencing unplanned pregnancies deserve support and education on their options and resources. You do not have to make any decisions today. At A Loving Option Adoption, our team is here to walk along side mothers who make the loving choice to enter into a plan to place their child into an adoptive family. Our program exists as an extension of broader services from our Pregnancy Help Center and our team, located here in East Tennessee, is happy to connect mothers with the services and resources they need should they decide at any point in this journey to parent their child.
What are the fees associated with expectant parents choosing adoption for their child?
All services to birth mothers are free of charge. Birth mothers will be provided information on the resources available to them during and after pregnancy and additional expenses that they may be eligible to have paid by the adoptive parents. Adoptive Parent services are provided on a fee schedule and the organization may incur income based upon those fees.
Why should I choose A Loving Option Adoption for my adoption planning services?
A Loving Option Adoption offers 24- hour compassionate support and in-person services throughout East Tennessee from a dedicated birth parent specialist. We provide one-on-one counseling and planning services to help you make the best decision for you and your baby and facilitation of the plan you develop to ensure that your wishes are completed for your child. We are here with you every step of the way.
Who chooses the family that my child will be adopted by?
We empower birth mothers to choose the family that fits their best wishes for their child and educate and support birth mothers as they decide whether an open, semi-open, or closed adoption is best for her and her baby.
What about the birth father?
Birth and legal fathers have rights throughout the adoption process. We can work together or separately with the birth father to ensure that they have all of the education and resources to assist them through this process. We provide eductation of the legal rights of the fathers as well as support to the fathers as they navigate their desired plan for adoption.
