You might think adoption is too hard. The reality is all of your options are hard when you’re pregnant and not ready for a baby.

If you are faced with a decision about your pregnancy, please know there is caring, honest, free support and help for you to explore your options 24/7.

Before you decide what you think about adoption you can get answers to help you find out if it’s the right path for you and your baby.

Without any obligation, you can learn that adoption is:

  • an option to take control over your situation and make a plan for the future of you and your baby
  • a way to provide for your child
  • a process with choices to personalize a plan that’s right for you
  • a personal and loving connection between a child, birth family, and adoptive parents
  • an answer to give your child the life you want her to have, while you create the future you want for yourself
  • a brave and beautiful decision
  • a life-giving alternative
  • a chance to make a new start, for both of you

You’re Not Alone: Real Adoption Stories from Birth Moms

If you’re pregnant and unsure what to do next, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Sometimes the most comforting thing is hearing from another woman who has faced a similar situation and understands the emotions, questions, and fears that can come with considering adoption.

These are real stories from women who chose adoption for their babies. They share what led them to that decision, how they felt during the process, and what life has been like afterward.

Adrianne and Tammy are two of those women. After their own adoption experiences, they came back to help others as peer counselors. If you’d like, you can talk with someone who truly understands and can offer support without judgment.
