Is It Wrong to Place a Baby for Adoption?

No, it is not wrong at all to place a baby for adoption. When you choose adoption, you are making the brave, heroic decision to provide them with the life you’ve always imagined for them. You’re giving them the gift of a brighter future and putting their needs ahead of your own.

“I want both of my daughters to be able to do anything they want to do, and know that they’re able to do that – to not have any fears,” says Lindsey, a birth mother who has worked with us. “I hope that Charlotte knows how much I love her, even though I placed her for adoption.”

Your Child Will Know Their Adoption Story

Because of open adoption, your child will have the chance to understand why you chose adoption and will know how hard it was and how much love it took. Open adoption allows you to stay in touch with both your child and the adoptive family for many years to come.

For example, you can all stay in touch via:

  • Zoom or Skype chats

  • Phone calls

  • In-person visits

  • Emails

  • Or whatever you feel comfortable with

You won’t ever have to wonder if your child is enjoying their life. Instead, you can witness them grow and thrive firsthand.

How Adoption Can Change Your Child’s Life

Adoption can change a child’s life for the better. There are many benefits of adoption for the child, such as:

  • Two loving families

  • A chance to pursue their dreams

  • A stable home environment

“I feel no resentment toward my biological parents; in fact, it’s quite the opposite,” John Michael, an adoptee, says. “I’m grateful for what they did. I can proudly say I am adopted.”

How We Can Help You Place a Baby for Adoption

As a full-service, national adoption agency, we can help you place your baby for adoption whenever you’re ready to do so. From creating your adoption plan with you to helping you find the perfect adoptive family for your baby, we’ll be by your side every step of the way.

Here is what you can expect when you work with us:

Guidance for Creating Your Adoption Plan

Think of your adoption plan as an outline of exactly how you’d like your adoption journey to go. At this stage of the adoption process, you’ll talk to your specialist about your preferences for the adoptive family, where you would like to give birth, how much financial assistance you’ll need and more.

Finding the Right Family for Your Baby

One of the most important parts of placing your baby for adoption is choosing a family that’s absolutely perfect for them. Your adoption specialist will put together a list of potential families that match the preferences you have outlined. They will also show you video profiles of those families so that you can truly see what each family is like.

Coordinating Financial Assistance

When you choose to place your baby for adoption, the last thing that you should have to worry about is your bank account. That’s why, by working with our agency, you won’t have to pay for a penny of the process. All costs associated with the adoption will be paid for through something known as adoption financial assistance.

Although there’s a limit to how much you can receive in Iowa, we’ll ensure that you receive the maximum amount possible.
