What to Know About Placing Your Child for Adoption

For Birth Parents who may be considering relinquishing their parental rights.

If you are considering placing your child for adoption, it is important to know that support and options are available, and that you are not alone. Choice works with birth parents who reach a point where they feel their child might be better supported by someone else. There are many reasons this may be the case. In recent years, Choice has supported clients who:

• no longer have the support they need
• are facing a move and cannot take their child with
them
• struggle to find work and childcare and are experiencing financial difficulties
• do not feel a bond or attachment with their child
• are already parenting and worried another child would overwhelm them emotionally, financially, or both

 

Creating an adoption plan for an older child can

involve additional considerations, such as navigating

the legal process of relinquishing parental rights,

preparing your child for the transition, and deciding on

the level of openness in the adoption. Choice is here to

guide you through every step of this process.

At Choice Adoptions, we provide compassionate and

nonjudgmental support throughout your journey. Our

team can help you understand your rights, explore your

options, and create an adoption plan that reflects your

wishes and your child’s needs. Ongoing counseling and

support are available before, during, and after placement.

 

We encourage you to learn more about the process of relinquishment and what to expect by visiting our relinquishment page. If you are considering adoption and would like to speak with someone directly, you can contact an advocate for immediate support.
