How to Give a Newborn Up for Adoption: Process and Options

Do you love your baby but feel that you are not ready to parent right now? If your baby has already been born and you are considering adoption, you may have questions about what the next steps are. You may also wonder whether you can still make an adoption plan and what choices are available to you.

ACF Adoptions can help you understand how to give a newborn up for adoption and guide you through the adoption process, your choices, and the support that may be available to you.

Here is what the process will look like:

Talk to an Adoption Professional

Begin by contacting us. You can either visit us in person or call us. An adoption professional will listen to your situation and provide you with information about adoption and your choices. You can also ask as many questions as you need to clear all your queries.

Learn How Adoption Works

An adoption professional can explain each part of the process. This includes explaining your choices (parenting or adoption), how to review adoptive families, how to create an adoption plan, a hospital plan, and your legal rights.

Make Your Adoption Plan

If you decide that adoption is right for you, you can make a plan. Your adoption plan is about what you want for yourself and your baby. You may be able to choose:

• An adoptive family for your baby
• The type of adoption – open, closed, or semi-open plans
• Who you want to be with you at the hospital
• How much contact do you want with the adoptive family after adoption

You can customize your plan as you learn more, when allowed by the process and law.

Choose an Adoptive Family

As a birth mother, you can choose a loving and secure family for your baby. Our team can help you review available adoptive families on our website. These families are pre-screened and verified and are ready to welcome a newborn baby through adoption.

Get Support

Our adoption professionals and attorneys will guide you through your legal rights and the process. Depending on the state laws, you may also be eligible for specific support.
