Things an Expectant Mother Should Know Before Considering Adoption for the Child

Selecting a Florida-Based Licensed Adoption Organization

If you plan to place your child for adoption, you must work with a licensed Florida-based adoption organization like us to get the best support and help in real-time. The expectant mother can give us a call or text us to discuss the adoption process in-depth confidentially. We will help you get that essential support needed by hearing what you have to say. Our caring staff will collect all the necessary information from you, including your medical and social history, and assist you with living expenses.

Understand about the Birth Mother Services

We assist in coordinating prenatal care with health care providers if this has not already been established. Expectant mothers are also entitled to reasonable living expenses like rent, utilities, basic telephone services, food, toiletries, necessary clothing, transportation, insurance, and expenses found by the court to be necessary for the health and well-being of the birth mother and the unborn child. Such expenses may be paid during the pregnancy and up to 6 weeks postpartum.

Selection of an Adoptive Family

We recommend Birth parents screen the adoptive families’ profiles to find the best match for their child. An adoption professional will assist you in this process by providing additional information about the adoptive parents. Depending on the type of adoption option, you may meet with the adoptive family to know them better and ensure that you are making the right decision for you and your child.

Types of Adoptions

Another crucial aspect for birth parents is to decide on the type of adoption they want. Depending upon the level of openness, you get the chance to select the type of adoption you wish for your child. The types of adoption include (open adoption, closed adoption, and semi-open adoption).

Putting the Baby Up for Adoption

As an expectant mother, you have the right to create a personalized adoption plan for yourself. After delivering the child at a hospital, you may not execute a consent for adoption until 48 hours after the birth of your child or the day when you are fit to be discharged from the hospital or birthing center. Depending on the selected adoption plan, you can stay in touch until the child turns 18.
