Step 2: Create an Adoption Plan
We will work with you to create an adoption plan that reflects your unique wants and needs. Decide what type of adoption you want and how much contact you’d like to have with the adoptive parents and the baby.
Step 3: Choose an Adoptive Family
The next part of the birthmother adoption process involves looking through our adoptive family profiles. Once you’ve picked a family, we can arrange for you to talk on the phone, email, or text with them, based on the level of contact you’re comfortable with.
Step 5: Ongoing Support
Throughout your pregnancy, we will continue to check in with you and provide support and assistance as needed. You can also communicate with your adoptive family as much or as little as you wish. As you get closer to your due date, we will help you make arrangements for delivering the baby.
Step 8: After the Adoption
After the adoption process is completed, the amount of contact you’ll have with the baby and adoptive family depends on the type of adoption you choose. The post-adoption experience is different for every birthmother. You’ll probably experience an array of emotions, both positive and negative.
We encourage each birthmother to create a post-adoption plan. Will you return to school or work? Will you join an adoption support group? Do you have other goals you want to start working towards? Your attorney or social worker can work with you to put together a post-adoption plan that will help you move forward and have the birthmother support you need after the adoption.
“Throughout my pregnancy, Angel Adoption would personally message me and ask how I was doing. This was nice to know that I wasn’t just another person in their program — they genuinely cared.” - Susan, birthmother
