Adoption Information
What do you know about adoption? Do you believe making an adoption plan for your baby would be a loving decision?
Adoption has always been a loving, compassionate decision that many birth mothers (and fathers) have made over the years. Adoptions have changed greatly over the years. We can refer you to an adoption agency where they can answer all your questions and help you decide if adoption is the best decision for you and your baby.
You can make an adoption plan and still be involved in your child’s life. Call 570-721-2936 or click the tab below to request an appointment to talk to someone about your options.
Three types of Adoption:
Open Adoption
In an open adoption, you can meet and get to know the family who will be adopting your child while you are still pregnant. You will make a plan together. It’s possible to arrange for letters, phone calls and even face-to-face visits. As your child grows, you can continue to stay in touch and be a regular part of his or her life, if you choose.
Semi-open Adoption
In a semi-open adoption, you can choose the adoptive parents from a profile, most often provided to you by an adoption agency. These profiles often contain pictures, references and a personal note from the couple to help you choose a family. Any letter or contact between you and your child would take place through your relationship with the adoption agency.
Closed Adoption
In a closed adoption, you won’t meet or have contact with the adoptive parents. This option can be preferable if you’re concerned about your privacy.
