Often, when birth mothers consider adoption, they think they need to make a decision right away. But this is not how private adoption in Arizona works.
In reality, the adoption process gives birth mothers the chance to make decisions at every step, from making an adoption plan to choosing an adoptive family and the future they wish for their baby.
A licensed adoption agency can guide you through the adoption process and help you understand your options. At AZ Pregnancy Help/Building Arizona Families, we help birth mothers make thoughtful decisions that are right for them and their babies.
Decisions Birth Mothers Can Make Throughout the Adoption Process
Learn About Adoption Before Making a Decision
The first choice every birth mother has is deciding which unplanned pregnancy option is best for her. She can make this decision through education. When you decide that you want to learn more about adoption, you do not have to decide on adoption the moment you walk into our office or speak to an adoption professional. You do not have to decide on adoption the moment you walk into our office or speak to an adoption professional.
We provide a safe space to ask questions, gather information about adoption, have your concerns addressed, and learn about your options.
Create an Adoption Plan as Per Your Wishes
The adoption plan is an essential part of the adoption process. It is where you decide the type of future you want for your baby, the family you want your child to grow up in, and the level of contact you would like after placement.
The adoption plan is an outline how you want your adoption to carry out. You can take your time to think, understand, and then decide what matters most to you and your child.
Choose the Right Family for Your Baby
Choosing a family for your baby is one of the most meaningful decisions a birth mother can make. Private adoptions allow birth mothers to review profiles of waiting adoptive families who have passed background checks and other required screenings.
Family profiles include photos, letters, and information about their lifestyle and values. It will help you choose the family that suits your preferences.
Decide What Future Contact Looks Like
Another important choice involves the type of relationship you would like after placement. Some birth mothers may want to maintain ongoing contact with the adoptive families and choose open adoption.
Some women prefer less contact or no contact at all. Every adoption is unique, and our Adoption Team will help by explaining your options and what they may look like.
Access Adoption Support And Resources
Adoption is more than just paperwork. We offer financial assistance, counseling, support groups, and emotional support to our birth mothers.
Choosing adoption does not mean you are losing control. It is making thoughtful choices for you and your baby.
