Adoption phrases like “giving up” and “giving away” are reasons why adoption is so misunderstood. Decades ago, many birth mothers had no idea who adopted their babies or where they went. They essentially had to give them away without any information.
Those days are long gone. Today’s adoption process allows the expectant mother or birth mother to make all of the decisions. Through adoption, she is taking charge of her future and her child’s.
You Can Choose Who Raises Your Child
Selecting the adoptive parents is one of the most significant decisions you will make when planning your child’s adoption. By working with a reputable, licensed adoption agency like A Loving Option Adoption, your dedicated Birth Parent Specialist works closely with you to determine your priorities for adoptive parents.
What’s important to you should be important to them. You can read the bios of potential adoptive couples and choose the right one for your child.
They won’t be strangers. You will see photos or videos and learn about their lives. They share information about their relationship, home, neighborhood, and extended family. You can even meet them before giving birth.

How Do I Know if Adoption is Right for Me?

Can I Have Contact With My Child?
Many birth mothers find it helpful to continue contact with the adoptive family and their child. If you choose a semi-open adoption, A Loving Option Adoption can facilitate communication between everyone.
Your selected adoptive family must send photos and letters for a time, but you can discuss other arrangements with them specifically. Some birth parents and adoptive families even spend time with each other for important events like birthdays or holidays.
