It’s never too late to make an adoption plan. Even if you have an unborn baby, or you have a toddler and find parenting overwhelming, you can still make an adoption plan.
When considering adoption, its important to remember that you are not “giving up” anything. Instead, you are changing people’s lives. Adoption is a difficult decision – but it is also a courageous and loving decision.
We believe that choosing the right adoption agency is one of the most important decisions in the adoption process. At Courageous Hearts Adoptions, our caring adoption professionals ensure you have all the personalized support and guidance you need. You will not be alone. We will support you through the entire process.
Step 1 – Fill out this form, and an adoption specialist will contact you and answer all your questions.
Step 2 – Fill out paperwork that helps us get to know you better.
Step 3 – Choose the perfect family to adopt your baby or child. We will send you profiles of hopeful adoptive families to review. You decide what type of family and lifestyle you think would be best. You can choose to interview the family, and even meet them, before deciding.
Step 4 – Get to know your family of choice. This might involve communicating by text or email, and it might include phone calls or in-person meetings. The method of communication is entirely up to you and what makes you feel the most comfortable. Your adoption specialist is there to guide you through this, so it is not overwhelming.
Step 5 – Make a hospital plan. Your adoption specialist will help you create a plan for the delivery and hospital stay. Everyone’s plan is different. You get to decide who is in the room with you, who sees and holds the baby first, and who takes care of the baby. It is your plan and you make the decisions.
Step 6 – Deliver the baby. Once the baby is born, you still get to decide who is with you and who takes care of the baby. Your adoption specialist and adoption attorney will explain the legal process. In most states, you can sign consents to adoption around 24-72 hours depending on the state laws, and of course, your recovery and when you feel ready. Consents to adoption are signed privately with you, the attorney, and a witness. You can of course have someone close to you there for support as well.
Step 7 – Find peace. We know that you love and will continue to love your baby. Supportive services and counseling are available if needed. Also, being able to receive pictures and updates, so you can watch your baby thrive.
No, it is never too late. When you are ready, we will be too even if the baby or child is already born.
Most likely yes, but it will depend on your age and the state laws in which you live. Your adoption specialist will help you make this determination.
No, the process is entirely free.
Well, that depends. If you are married to the birth father, he will need to be involved to some degree. If you are not married, it will depend on your state laws. Call us for additional information and you can talk directly to an adoption lawyer for free!
Not at all! All medical costs are covered when you make an adoption plan.
It is your pregnancy, so you decide what medical care you want to receive or not. And no we do not drug test birth parents.
All our families are highly screened. They are all home study approved meaning they have completed multiple background checks, interviews, reference checks, and their medical history and finances are reviewed to ensure they are healthy and financially stable.
It means that you have the option to communicate directly with the adoptive family that you choose. This could be by text, email, conference calls, phone calls, or other means. You can also meet the family before and after the birth if you desire. This can even include visits throughout your baby’s childhood even as much as every year.
YES! We are completely NON-JUDGEMENTAL. We understand that struggling with an addiction is extremely hard and adding an unintended pregnancy to an already difficult situation does not help. If you are using drugs or alcohol during your pregnancy, just let us know and we can help find the perfect family for you and your unborn baby. Many of our families are trained for this very specific situation during your pregnancy.
Some women fear that Child Protective Services (CPS) will take their baby from the hospital because they used drugs during their pregnancy. But in fact, making an adoption plan will actually help keep CPS out of your life. So please don’t let this be a worry of yours. Talk to a birth parent counselor today!
