Adoption: Is it worth it?

Some people wonder how anyone can “give their baby away” after carrying them for 9 months.

And it’s true that making an adoption plan can be the most difficult choice a woman will make in her life.

It’s also true that when a woman carefully chooses an adoptive family for her child, with compassionate, ongoing support, the result can be incredibly positive.

What many people don’t realize is that by choosing adoption, a birth mother isn’t “giving her baby away” at all.

She’s giving her child a unique, selfless gift.

She is placing her child’s needs above her own by giving her baby what he or she will need to grow and thrive in a loving, stable environment.

Adoption, like many other life-changing decisions, is not an easy choice. And it’s not one that should ever be taken lightly.

The choice is yours.

At the Pregnancy Resource Center, we can connect you with the necessary information if you choose to explore the adoption option further.

Some women who come into our office know right away that they would like to discuss adoption. Other women may not be ready to think about it until months later, if at all.

We will never pressure you to make an adoption plan for your baby.

We can provide the information you require so that you can make the best possible decisions for your life and that of your child.
