There Is a Path Forward
Though it’s understandable to have doubts or uncertainty about the adoption process, know that couples adopt children that come from various environments or have specific needs. Creating an adoption plan and communicating with prospective adoptive families will help your child find what they need to succeed.
Receiving proper prenatal care and attending regular appointments with your doctor can help you determine your next steps. Healthcare providers can monitor you and your baby, connect you to resources for those who use substances, and offer ongoing support. They can also assess whether your child may need extra services after birth.
Additionally, communicating with a trusted adoption agency can help you feel secure and reassured. It’s critical to remember that these agencies exist to help you through this journey and provide needed support.
An adoption agency will connect you to prospective families with the resources and experience to raise your child. If you want an open adoption, this step can help you envision the type of relationship you’d like to have and how you’d like to be in your child’s life.
Knowing where to begin can be challenging, but you’re not alone. Alpha Center is here to help with information, referrals, and more.
