If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, you are probably searching the internet asking “what do I do!?” While there are many elements, aspects, and considerations within each, you basically have 3 options: parenting, abortion, and adoption.
Adoption is the permanent legal transfer of all parental rights from one person or couple to another person or couple. Adoptive parents have the same rights and responsibilities as biological parents, and adopted children have all of the emotional, social, legal and kinship benefits of biological children.
How to place your baby for adoption in Texas
We understand the adoption process can seem overwhelming at first. You might have fears that you’re “giving up” your baby. But the more you learn about adoption, the more you come to realize it doesn’t mean that at all. Adoption means you are making a plan for your child’s future. It means you’re making a selfless choice to put your baby’s needs before your own. It means, in other words, that you’re a really good mom.
Below, we provide you with an outline of the adoption process. You can take comfort knowing that you don’t have to go through it alone – we are here to help.
