Birthparent Services

At Adoption Connection, we offer:

• Pre-placement counseling to explore all options to an unplanned pregnancy

• Prenatal and hospital care arrangements

• Family matching assistance

• Arrangement of independent legal assistance if needed

• Financial assistance if needed

• Post-adoption counseling and support

• An intermediary resource for post-adoption contact

• An adoption resource library

• A Birthparent support network

All services to birthparents are offered without charge or obligation.  We believe that birthparents should have the benefit of all available options in determining their adoption plan.  Some birthparents wish to choose a family for their child and arrange for direct ongoing information sharing after the adoption.  Others prefer that the agency handle those arrangements.  Some birthparents find counseling about their adoption decision very helpful before their child is born.  Others may find counseling to be more beneficial after the placement occurs to help with the normal feelings of loss.  Still others choose not to utilize any counseling services. We strive to make your adoption plan work the way you want it to work, not how we think it should work.  This is your adoption plan.  You make all the key decisions about your pregnancy, your baby and your adoption.  We will be there to help you during the pregnancy, birth and for as long after the adoption as you need.  We support you in making this loving choice.
