Why Should I Choose Adoption?

Right now, you may be worried that you are “giving up” by placing your baby for adoption. However, this is not the case. Choosing adoption means you are making sure your baby is raised in a safe and loving home. You are taking control of your own life. Still, wondering if placing your baby for adoption is right for you? It is important to stay informed and find the right adoption agencies in Arizona. Remember that even as a teenager, you have the right to be involved in every aspect of the adoption. 

How Do I Put My Baby Up For Adoption? 

The first step is contacting our adoption agency and meeting with one of our adoption specialists. An adoption specialist will help you create an adoption plan that best suits your needs. Our staff is experienced in creating a safe and comfortable environment during this emotional time. You will be able to choose which type of adoption you want: open, closed, or semi-closed. An open adoption is best when you want to remain in contact with the adoptive family after the adoption is finalized. A closed adoption might be best if you do not wish to have contact with the adoptive family. 

Next, our adoption specialists will provide you with family profiles to select from. As the birth mother, you are making the choice of which family is best to raise your baby. Our adoption agencies in Arizona are not religiously affiliated and serve adoptive families of all backgrounds. We will support you with personalized care throughout the adoption process. Our staff is experts who can help answer any question you may have during this difficult time. 

The Right to Choose Adoption as a Teenager

You may be wondering if being a teenager makes a difference in the adoption process. Fortunately, all birth mothers have the same rights regardless of age. In Arizona, you do not need an adult’s permission to place your baby for adoption. As the birth mother, you are the only person making the decisions about your baby’s future. 

Adoption Choices of Arizona is Here For You

At Adoption Choices of Arizona, we treat you with respect and dignity and ensure you receive the birth mother benefit you need. We want you to remember you are not alone during this time. One benefit is that adoption in Arizona is free for birth mothers. In addition, you may receive financial support for both medical costs and general living expenses. Our adoption specialists offer legal assistance so you can be confident in the decisions you make. We want to make sure you understand your rights during this time. We provide individualized emotional counseling throughout the entire adoption process.
