How Much Control Birth Mothers Have During the Adoption Process

Birth Mother’s Right in Adoption Process

Personalize Your Adoption Plan

If you are considering adoption, you can discuss your preferences and explore the decisions you can make as part of an adoption plan. This includes creating an adoption plan that highlights your preferences and wishes. Through an adoption plan, you can:

• Choose the kind of family you want for your baby
• Talk about the type of adoption you want
• Decide between open, semi-open, and closed adoption plans

Our adoption counselors will help you learn about the different levels of contact each type offers. Learning about each choice can help you make an informed decision for you and your baby.

Explore and Choose the Family

The birth mother has a choice to choose who adopts her baby as part of the adoption plan. Our adoption counselors will help you learn about families who are approved to adopt. 

You can look through the profiles of adoptive families. The profiles will include information about their home, lifestyle, family, and hopes for adoption. If you wish to communicate with the family, we can help arrange a meeting or a call before you make a decision.

Share Your Hospital Wishes

The adoption plan also allows you to decide on your birth and hospital plan. For example, you may want to decide who will spend time with you at the hospital. You may also want time with your baby after birth. You can share your wishes about delivery and hospital stay with your adoption counselor.
