Questions about adoption

What will my friends/family think of me “giving away” my baby? Who will raise my baby? Do I have any say in picking the adoptive parents? What is an Open Adoption Plan? What kind of parents will be best for my baby? Can I write a letter or send gifts to my child? Will I be able to arrange any visits with my baby? Will my child ever respect me for making this decision? May I leave information so that someday my child will be able to find me? What if I change my mind and want to keep my baby?

If you are considering carrying your baby to term and making an adoption plan for him or for her, you have no doubt been thinking about whether your baby will be happy. Perhaps you aren’t ready to be a parent right now, and don’t like the idea of aborting your baby.

You wonder what people will say about your decision. Will they criticize you for giving your baby to someone else to raise, or will they praise you for selflessly putting your baby first and giving him or her the gift of both a mother and a father’s love?
