Frequently Asked Question

Can a Birth Father Contact an Adoption Agency?

Q:”My girlfriend is pregnant and we are both unsure about what we want to do. Can a father contact an adoption agency or is it only for mothers?” – John

A: “Absolutely, fathers can contact Friends in Adoption and that is what I did when my ex-girlfriend ended up pregnant after we broke up. I got tired of hearing everything secondhand so I called Friends in Adoption’s 800 number and told them who I was and I got to be included in the process. Good Luck.”

– From Frank, a Birth Father
