Choosing Adoption as a Rape Victim
By Tyra Watts
Sexual assault is one of the most traumatizing experiences that someone can go through. No one should have to endure such pain and violence, especially if you are a pregnant woman. If you are pregnant and a victim of sexual assault, it is important that you should know that you have three options to choose from and have to right to choose any of them. The first option is the termination of pregnancy, also known as abortion, the second option is parenting, and the last option is adoption.
Adoption Choices of Arizona is the adoption agency for you if you are interested in adoption. We have plenty of adoption agencies in Arizona for you to choose from.

Am I In Charge of my Adoption?
Yes, you are in charge of every step of your Arizona adoption plan. You’ll have to contact an adoption agency to get started (you can choose from any of our wonderful adoption agencies in Arizona). Next, you’ll schedule a meeting with a birth parent counselor. Then, you’ll fill out some paperwork and find a doctor. This is when the matching process starts. You’ll begin to look at profiles of adoptive families until you match with the adoptive family of your choice.
Your birth counselor will be by your side when necessary. Depending on the type of adoption you’ve selected (open, closed, and semi-open), you’ll have the opportunity to meet the adoptive family. By the time your due date rolls around, you’d have created your hospital birth plan. Your birth counselor will be there for you at the hospital. Once the baby is born, it’ll leave with the adoptive family. You’ll have a court date for when you’ll give up your parental rights. Finally, the last step of the adoption process is a goodbye dinner (if you want). Your expenses will be paid up to a month after delivery.
