The compassionate adoption professionals at Adoptions From The Heart are devoted to supporting your choices. Our commitment includes presenting the pregnant women that we counsel with the full range of their options, rather than a limited list. In this article, we’ll discuss the primary options for pregnant women considering their situations: adoption, parenting, and abortion. In addition, we’ll provide links so you can learn more.
Adoption Options
As one of the East Coast’s most trusted adoption agencies, Adoptions From The Heart offers multiple adoption options. Everyone’s situation is different, and there is no single answer for pregnant women considering adoption.
Our goal is to evaluate your concerns, wishes, and needs and counsel you on the correct adoption option for your circumstances. We’re not here to convince anyone on a certain path in their lives, only to become a trusted advisor.
Is Adoption The Right Option For Me?
If neither you nor your partner feel that you are in a position to satisfy the needs of a child, whether those needs are financial, social, or emotional, adoption may be the right option for you. Adoption is a way of ensuring that your child’s future will be filled with love, support, and compassion.
Open Adoption
AFTH pioneered “open adoption” on the East Coast. From our main office’s founding in 1985 to our networks of social workers in New York City and Richmond, VA, Adoptions From The Heart has championed open adoption as a sustainable, compassionate adoption option for children, birth mothers, and adoptive parents.
Open adoption allows for honest, true communication between all members of the adoption triad before, during, and after placement. To learn more about your adoption options, visit our “Contact Us” page to find an AFTH location near you.
Other Adoption Options
The adoption professionals at AFTH are also pleased to facilitate other forms of adoption, like semi-open and closed (traditional) adoptions. These adoption options limit the amount of communication that can take place between the members of an adoption triad. In a closed adoption, there is no communication either before, during, or after placement.
If semi-open or closed adoption sounds like it may be an appropriate option in your situation, please contact one of our adoption agency offices.
Parenting
Beyond adoption, another option available to pregnant women is parenting. Just like adoption, in which you have many options, parenting is not a one-size-fits-all decision.
The counselors at Adoptions From The Heart will be pleased to advise you on your parenting options. Single parenting, shared parenting, marriage – which parenting option is correct for you? Visit our “My Options: Parenting” page to learn more.
Abortion
Some pregnant women consider abortion a clear decision. For others, the concept and reality of abortion is complicated. Either way, it’s important for pregnant women to learn about the full range of their options, no matter which they eventually pursue. Adoptions From The Heart has devoted a full FAQ to this subject, answering pregnant womens’ most common questions about abortion. You can find it on our “My Options: Abortion” page.
