Ms. T’s Story: Choosing Love During Incarceration – Texas

Ms. T was facing one of life’s hardest crossroads: pregnant and incarcerated, she feared what would happen to her baby. Unsure and emotionally overwhelmed, she placed a collect call to Adoption Choices of Texas. To her surprise and relief, they answered—and never stopped showing up for her.

Though she had no access to email or the internet, the agency stayed in constant contact, patiently guiding her through the adoption process. They even arranged a video call so she could view adoptive parent profiles. Her adoption specialist was persistent, kind, and worked closely with the correctional facility to make the process as normal and dignified as possible.

“My adoption specialist made me feel seen and supported throughout the entire process,” Ms. T said. Her courage and the agency’s compassion made a seemingly impossible situation one filled with hope and love.
