Is Adoption the Right Choice for Me?

A pregnant woman sits on a park bench, in anguish over a decisionHow do I know adoption is a good choice for my baby?

If you are not ready to be a parent or you are not able to take responsibility for the growth and development of your child, you can still give your baby the gift of life by choosing adoption. You can choose the way your baby will be raised by selecting a stable, loving family for him. You can even choose a family that has interests you desire, like religious beliefs or hobbies.

At birth, you can see your baby, hold him, and even name him if you wish. As your child grows, you can receive letters, photos, and even visits, allowing you to watch him grow up strong and happy, surrounded by the warmth of a loving family. You can always be a part of your child’s life.

Through adoption you can reach for your own goals, knowing that your child is cared for in every way.

Adoption may not be right for everyone. You need to evaluate what you are prepared to provide and determine if that is enough for your baby.
