Everyday, women like you choose adoption. They understand the benefits of adoption and want what is best for their child. Because of open adoption, relationships can be ongoing between these women and their children.

Today, adoption is a widely accepted option for a woman who is experiencing an unexpected pregnancy and is considering adoption for ANY reason.

Advantages for Birth Mothers:

An unplanned pregnancy can delay or halt a woman's education, career or other goals. You may not be financially able to care for a child or an additional child and you may not have a partner to help you raise this child. Some women are unable to terminate the pregnancy, but also are not ready to parent this child.

There are many advantages of adoption for birth mothers. Adoption can give her a chance to receive an education or achieve other goals. Placing a child for adoption with a loving family who can provide a safe and happy home can be a great comfort for a birth mother.
Women who choose adoption:

Many birth mothers are able to stay in contact with the adoptive family and their child through open adoption.

Birthmothers can be reassured that their child is loved and well-cared for and can be reassured that their decision to make an adoption plan was the right one.

Since the 1990s, a number of states have enacted statutes that permit subsidization of adoptions. The adoption procedure has thereby become a social instrument for the improvement of the lives of underprivileged children. Subsidized adoption tends to encourage adoption of children by suitable individuals who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

Some women have a hormonal or chemical imbalance in their uterus, where the baby is carried, which makes having a baby impossible. So, for those families with those circumstances, adoption is a valid choice.
