Adoption

Contemplating Adoption?

The decision to consider adoption is the start of a process over which you have complete control. Prior to the birth of your child, nothing legal or binding can be done. If you are considering adoption, we will provide you with contact information for several state-certified adoption specialists who can answer any questions you may have and guide you through the adoption process if you decide to pursue this option further.

There is plenty of time to consider whether adoption is the right parenting choice for your child.

 

Don’t rush into a decision to make an adoption plan. You have the choice in what kind of family you want to place your child in and how much ongoing contact you want with him or her. Feel free to give us a call for more information. Your questions are welcomed.
