Considering Adoption?
If you're thinking about adoption, know that you're not alone and you don't have to figure it out all at once. Adoption is a courageous and compassionate decision that puts your child's future first while honoring your own story. Whether you're just beginning to explore the idea or seriously considering your options, we're here to listen, answer your questions, and walk with you every step of the way. Our team can connect you with trusted adoption professionals and help you understand what open, closed, or semi-open adoption might look like, without pressure and always with care.
Types of Adoption
Open Adoption
Semi-Open Adoption
Closed Adoption
Domestic Adoption
Relative or Kinship Adoption
In an open adoption, you can build a relationship with your child and the adoptive family. You might exchange letters, photos, or even visit as your child grows. Many birth parents find comfort knowing they can see the positive life their baby is living, while also having guidance and support throughout the process.

Semi-open adoption allows for limited contact. You might receive updates about milestones, photos, or letters, without ongoing direct communication. This balance can help you feel connected and reassured, while giving the adoptive family space to raise the child.

In a closed adoption, the adoptive family raises your child independently, and no identifying information is shared. While there is no contact, birth parents often feel comfort in knowing their baby is in a safe and loving home, and they can receive counseling and support throughout the process.

This means placing your baby with a family within the United States. It often provides legal protections, agency or counselor support, and the ability to thoughtfully choose a family whose values align with your wishes. Birth parents can focus on making informed, supported decisions.

A family member, like a grandparent, aunt, or older sibling, adopts your baby. This keeps your child close to loved ones and can provide a sense of familiarity and continuity. Support is available to help navigate legal steps and emotions during this process.
