Facing an unplanned pregnancy? Feeling a bit out of control and asking ‘what do I do!?’
During a time where you feel like you don’t have much control, know that when choosing adoption with All About U Adoptions, you will always be in control of your adoption plan. Your adoption plan is all about you and your baby. It’s your chance to outline your preferences for every step of the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported throughout this selfless decision.
What is an Adoption Plan?
An adoption plan is a personalized roadmap you create with your adoption agency outlining your preferences for every step of the adoption process. It allows you to choose your support system, the adoptive family for your child, your level of contact with them, and how you want to handle your hospital stay, ensuring you feel empowered and supported throughout this selfless decision.
How do I Get Control of my Adoption Plan?
When you choose adoption, you are making a brave decision. Despite the negative stigma of “giving up a baby for adoption” you are making a loving, healthy choice. In building an adoption plan, you are taking control of your situation and choosing a life for your child that you maybe can’t provide right now. Here’s how you get control with All About U Adoptions:
1. Building Your Support System
You don’t have to do this alone. Choose who you want by your side – family, friends, or even a confidential support group. Your adoption professional will also be there every step of the way, offering guidance and emotional support. They’re your champion throughout this journey.
2. Finding the Perfect Family for Your Child
This is a big decision! All About U Adoptions adoption agency will provide family profiles that match your vision for your child’s future. Consider factors like location, lifestyle, and family dynamics to find the ideal fit.
3. Getting to Know the Adoptive Family (Optional)
Open communication can be comforting. Your plan allows you to decide if you’d like to meet or talk with the adoptive family before placement. This can ease anxieties and help you feel more connected to the future your child will have.
4. Your Hospital Stay – Your Way
Leaving the hospital will likely be emotional. Your plan allows you to outline your preferences for the hospital stay. Do you want the adoptive family present? How much time do you need with your baby? Do you want to name the baby? Having a plan empowers you to focus on healing and ensures your needs are met.
5. A Lasting Connection (Optional)
The journey doesn’t end at placement. Your plan allows you to decide on your level of future contact with the adoptive family and your child. Open adoption lets you exchange pictures, letters, or even have visits – it’s entirely up to you.
