Searching for Pregnancy Options in Houston?
You are not giving up! You are giving life!
What does ‘giving up my baby’ mean?
Placing a child for adoption means that a pregnant woman or couple is in a situation where parenting is not an option nor is terminating the pregnancy. No matter why or what the reason is behind choosing adoption, it is a SAFE, HEALTHY, LOVING option and can be a very rewarding experience.
Choosing adoption does not mean that you are giving up a baby. This terminology comes from an archaic past. This terminology, with others like “put up child for adoption” comes from the 1800’s during the Orphan Train Movement. Times have changed, adoption has changed and adoption language has changed. As we continue to advocate positive adoption language, this is still a popular phrase that people use to find adoption support.
Often times people outside of the adoption world do not know positive adoption language and may use these phrases in search. Rest assured that when you speak with one of our adoption specialist that we will never use that language. We want you to feel valued and respected and trust that your decision is not being taken lightly.

- Your desires for your hospital stay
- How much time you want to spend with your baby at the hospital
- How much contact you want with the adoptive family and your child after the adoption
The adoption plan will also include your needs for financial assistance, safe housing, whether or not you need transportation for medical support, legal support through the adoption process, and counseling. The adoption plan is always free for women who choose to place their child for adoption.
The birth parents who work with us feel safe, cared for, well represented, and respected. We will never judge you for the situation you are in nor for choosing adoption. We will never force you to make decisions that you aren’t comfortable with nor will we coerce you in to choosing adoption.
