Considering Adoption Options?

Questions About Lifetime Adoption

• Why choose Lifetime Adoption?

  This is a great question that deserves an in depth answer. The short answer is that our birth mother services are custom-designed with you in mind. We are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day with caring and experienced adoption coordinators here just for you. Our years of experience help us guide you down an adoption path that leads to placing your baby with the perfect adoptive family that you choose.

• I’ve been working with another adoption agency but would like to switch to Lifetime. What do I do?

  Some women may first connect with an agency only to learn that they don’t have the services or families available that they need. Your first step is to call and speak to one of Lifetime’s caring coordinators. She can gather your information and help you with the next steps to make the change to Lifetime. It’s important to share all the facts of your adoption plan to date with her, so she can give you accurate advice based on your situation.

• Why should I choose a Lifetime adoptive family?

  We understand that searching for adoptive parents who match the vision you have for your child’s life can feel overwhelming. Here are 11 reasons why it’s beneficial to consider a Lifetime adoptive family for your baby!

• Why do I have to answer so many questions to give up my baby?

  Your answers to Lifetime’s online questionnaire help us find the best adoption situation customized to your wishes. Also, providing as much information as you can gives the adoptive family and medical personnel accurate information to assist in treating your child, should any medical issue come up. It’s important to provide accurate and complete information about your health history so that it can become a part of your child’s family health history.

  As your child grows up, he or she might start asking questions about you. So the information you share will give your child information about your interests, talents, appearance, medical, and genetic history.

  Lifetime encourages birth fathers to be involved in the adoption planning process as well. The answers he gives will allow your child to grow up with information on his or her birth father, too.

• What kind of assistance and support does Lifetime offer women thinking about adoption?

  Lifetime provides every woman thinking about adoption with a variety of help and support, depending on their needs. Counseling, peer counseling, maternity clothes, and a listening ear 24 hours a day are some of the first things we are able to help with. Even a free downloadable book about adoption that anyone can request! We guide you through each step of the adoption planning process, including helping you decide if adoption is the right choice for your baby. Each woman has different needs, so we want to customize your adoption experience to your needs, including helping with pregnancy-related expenses (like rent, phone, utilities, and food) if you need that.
