Your Pregnancy Options
Considering Adoption?
Adoption is a courageous, selfless choice — and it's one where you remain in control. You choose the family. You choose the type of adoption. And in most cases, adoption is completely free for birth mothers. A Hope Center can walk you through every step.
What Every Birth Mother Should Know
Adoption today is nothing like it used to be. As a birth mother, you have more choice, more say, and more support than ever before.
You Choose the Family
You review profiles of potential adoptive families and select the one whose values, lifestyle, and environment feel right for your child.
You Choose the Openness
Open, semi-open, or closed — you decide how much contact you want with the adoptive family. There's no right or wrong answer.
It's Free for You
Birth mothers do not pay for adoption. The adoptive family typically covers all legal, medical, and agency fees. Some states also cover living expenses during pregnancy.
Types of Adoption Plans
There are three main types of adoption. Each offers a different level of contact between you, the child, and the adoptive family.
Open adoption means you and the adoptive family share identifying information such as full names, phone numbers, emails, and addresses.
You can have access to one another through face-to-face meetings, phone calls, texts, and letters. Together, you decide what is comfortable for you, the child, and their family.
Key benefit
You will have the opportunity to be a part of the child's life in whatever capacity is best for both parties.
