Why Choose Adoption?

Adoption has changed a lot over the last couple of decades, giving birth moms more control of their situation and directly addressing their needs and wants during the adoption process.

There are a variety of reasons to consider adoption. Whatever the reason, each is valid, respected, and impactful. Adoption will not only allow you to provide your child with a family, but will also allow his or her adoptive parent(s) the opportunity to create or grow their family. Adoption is one of the greatest gifts that can be given, as you will give your child the opportunity to live a lifetime and create meaningful relationships.

As you can see, there are already some great benefits to choosing adoption. Here are a few additional reasons adoption may be right for you:

• Placing your child for adoption prevents the risks associated with an abortion
• If you are not comfortable with abortion but are not ready to raise a child or additional children, adoption is a life giving gift
• Adoption can provide peace of mind for you that your child is being raised in a prescreened adoptive family
• Adoptive families can provide a safe and loving home
• Adoptive families can offer the proper support system to raise your child
• Adoption can allow you to pursue education and career goals without changing your current course
• Adoption can prevent the financial obligations you would have as a parent
• If you feel your current stage of life is not healthy for a child, adoption gives you the ability to provide stability for your child
• Adoption will give you access to important services and resources, including professional counseling and support services
• Adoption may offer you the opportunity to stay in touch with your child through open or semi-open adoption

If any of these benefits appeal to you, adoption may be a good option for you and your child.
