Considering Adoption?
If parenting doesn’t feel possible right now, adoption may be an option worth exploring. Many women facing an unexpected pregnancy are surprised to learn how much choice and involvement modern adoption can offer. Adoption today is not a one-size-fits-all process, and learning about it does not mean you are committing to that path.
At WRC, we offer free, confidential appointments where you can talk through adoption as a pregnancy option, ask questions, and learn what adoption looks like today. Our goal is to provide accurate information and a supportive space so you can make the decision that feels right for you.
What Adoption Looks Like Today
Modern adoption plans are flexible and tailored to your comfort level, preferences, and future goals. You have a voice in deciding how involved you want to be before and after placement.
- Open Adoption: allows you to choose the adoptive family and maintain ongoing contact. This may include visits, phone calls, messages, or photo updates, depending on what feels comfortable to you.
- Semi-Open Adoption: provides communication through an adoption agency or attorney. You receive updates about your child while maintaining more personal privacy.
- Closed Adoption: involves no identifying information or ongoing contact after placement. Some women choose this option if they want to remain anonymous.
You are not expected to know which option is right for you right away. Adoption professionals can help you explore each plan in more detail so you understand what to expect.
Support Throughout the Process
Adoption services are always provided at no cost to you. In most cases, medical expenses related to pregnancy and childbirth are covered if not already paid by insurance. Depending on your situation, additional support such as maternity items, counseling, or assistance with living expenses may also be available.
WRC can connect you with licensed, reputable adoption agencies and legal resources that specialize in supporting women through pregnancy and placement. These professionals guide you step by step and ensure your rights and well-being are protected.
A Safe Place to Explore Your Options
Choosing adoption is a deeply personal decision. You deserve time, honesty, and support as you consider what’s best for your life and future. Exploring adoption does not lock you into that choice; it simply gives you more information.
