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.
