Adoption is an act of generosity and love; however, that doesn’t make the decision to place an infant for adoption easy. In fact, this can be an incredibly difficult decision point for birth parents facing an unplanned pregnancy. Pregnant individuals and couples need support while they decide how to handle their situation. Those who choose adoption need support throughout the pregnancy, birth, and as the child grows up.
A reputable adoption agency, like Friends in Adoption, will offer comprehensive adoption counseling for birth parents. Agency counseling support needs to be available throughout the entire adoption process, including after the baby is placed with an adoptive family. The types of support needed are unique to each adoption since each adoption is unique.
