Are you pregnant and considering adoption? You may have many questions about the adoption process, what happens next, and where to find support during pregnancy.
You do not have to find all the answers and navigate the adoption process alone. If you are making an adoption plan in Arizona, you may qualify for certain types of support during pregnancy. At AZ Pregnancy Help / Building Arizona Families, our Adoption Team can help you understand your options and learn about the support available during pregnancy.
Types of Support Available During the Adoption Process
Every pregnant woman who is experiencing an unplanned pregnancy has different needs. Depending on your situation, eligibility, and Arizona law, you may qualify for the following types of help. An adoption agency like AZ Pregnancy Help can guide you through each part of the adoption process.
Here are some ways an Adoption Agency may support you:
Ask Questions and Understand Your Choices
Your first step can be a simple conversation with an Adoption Specialist. You may have questions about how adoption works. Our Adoption Team can listen to your concerns. You can ask questions and take the time to think about what is right for you and your baby. You do not need to make every choice at once.
Learn About Your Choices
If you decide to pursue an adoption plan, you can talk with our Adoption Team about the available options and the steps involved. They will explain the different types of adoption plans available, including open, semi-open, and closed. There is no single timeline that works for every mother. You can ask for more information before deciding.
Explore Adoptive Family Options
Your adoption plan also includes your chance to choose an adoptive family for your baby. You may be able to look at profiles of adoptive families who want to adopt. These profiles are verified and screened. Before deciding on a family for your baby, you can review the adoptive profiles to learn about their lives, homes, and hopes for a child. You can share what matters to you and ask about the type of adoptive family you would like for your baby.
Make an Adoption Plan for Your Pregnancy and Delivery
You can talk about your wishes for your hospital stay and the baby’s birth. You may also qualify for help with food, housing, travel to doctor visits, or certain medical costs. The help available depends on your needs and Arizona law.
An Adoption Specialist can help you understand the next steps and identify questions to ask about your legal rights.
Get Support After Adoptive Placement
After placement, you may have questions or many feelings to work through. You can ask our Adoption Team about counseling, ongoing support, and any agreed-upon arrangements for future contact with your child.
Take Your Time to Decide
You do not have to face your questions alone. If you are considering adoption in Arizona, contact AZ Pregnancy Help / Building Arizona Families. Our Adoption Team is available 24/7 to listen and help you understand your options.
