It’s Never Too Late to
Make a Decision
The first step in the adoption process is deciding whether or not adoption is right for you. It’s important to remember that you are never “giving up your baby for adoption.”Instead, you are changing lives. You are giving your little one the best home possible, and you are helping to give a child to a loving family. Adoption is a difficult decision – but it is also a courageous and act of love. It’s never too late to make an adoption decision or plan. Whether you have an unborn baby or a toddler, adoption is still an option, and we are here for you.

Type of Adoption
Open Adoption
In an open adoption, you have direct contact with the adoptive family. This can be anything from exchanging pictures & updates by phone, email or a shared website to the potential for in-person visits throughout childhood, if desired.
Semi-Open Adoption
If you like the idea of receiving updates about your baby, a semi-open type of adoption might be the right choice. Pictures and updates are exchanged through the adoption agency.
Closed Adoption
In this type of adoption, your little one is sent into the loving arms of his or her new family right away. There is typically no further contact between the birth family and adoptive family after the birth of the child and adoption finalization.

ANSWERS TO Common
Questions
What does “open adoption” mean?
In a modern open adoption, you have the option to communicate directly with the adoptive family you choose for your baby. This could be by text, email, conference calls, phone calls, social media, or other means. You can meet the family before they take over the care of your child and even visit throughout your baby’s childhood.
Does it cost me anything to put my baby up for adoption?
The adoption process is entirely free for expectant parents planning adoption. As permitted by the state, you may be eligible for receiving financial assistance during your pregnancy and six weeks post-partum.
Can you provide me information about how the adoption process works?
Absolutely!
- Please fill out the adoption inquiry form on our site so we can reach out to you and explain the process.
- Our adoption specialist will contact you to answer your questions and help you make a custom adoption plan.
- Review and choose the best adoptive family for your baby

- Get post-adoption support and start receiving child updates.
Does the birth father have to be involved if I decide to place my baby for adoption?
Whether or not he is an active part of the adoption process, the birth father does have a role, as well as rights that will vary by state. In general, these are the rights of the birth father:
- Right to be Involved: The child’s birth father has a right to be involved in the adoption planning process if he chooses. He can look through profiles, select an adoptive family, and choose the type of adoption he wants.
- Right to Consent: A birth father has a right to consent to the adoption.
- Right to Counseling: Courageous Hearts is available to speak with the birth father and offer him additional resources to help guide him through the adoption process.
- Right to an Attorney: The birth father has the right to consult with an adoption attorney about his rights if allowed in your state’s statutes. It is important to consult with an attorney before taking any legal action.
How will I know my child will be placed with a safe and loving adoptive family?
Our waiting adoptive families go through rigorous screening and evaluation process. They are all home study approved, meaning they have completed multiple background checks, interviews, and reference checks. In addition, their medical history and finances are reviewed to ensure they are emotionally and financially stable. You also have the option to communicate as much as you would like with the family before making your choice, including a home visit. You are in control, and you get to choose the family you believe will provide the best life for your child.
