Q: I’m unsure of what to do. Should I see a counselor?
A: Friends in Adoption highly recommends that you talk with a counselor, specifically one who specialized in adoption. Counseling is available to you at any time until your child turns 18.
Q: Will I be able to choose the adoptive parents?
A: Yes, profiles of hopeful adoptive families that meet your criteria will be presented to you to help you make the decision that is best for you and your baby.
Q: Can I meet the potential adoptive family that I’m considering?
A: Absolutely. I can set up a conference call to talk, or a visit via Skype or in-person – whatever you are comfortable with at this time.
Q: When it comes time to give birth, what happens?
A: Every woman we work with is encouraged to create a “hospital plan.” This plan details your ideal hospital experience and what level you’d like the adoptive parents to be involved.
Q: Am I eligible for some sort of financial support during my pregnancy?
A: Yes! There may be some pregnancy expenses that Friends in Adoption may be able to help you with, within legal parameters. Of course, any counseling and legal fees will be covered.
