If you’re thinking, “I’m pregnant and can’t keep the baby,” you’re not alone. This is a deeply personal and emotional experience, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re just a few weeks pregnant or nearing your due date, there are options. Adoption might be the loving, empowering path you’re searching for.

At All About U Adoptions, we’re here to help you explore your choices with compassion and respect. You have the right to make the decision that’s best for you and your baby.

What to Do When You Can’t Keep the Baby

Every pregnancy journey is different. But if you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy and know parenting isn’t an option for you, adoption can provide a stable, loving future for your child.

Choosing to place your baby for adoption doesn’t mean you’re giving up. It means you’re making a thoughtful decision rooted in love, responsibility, and hope.

How the Adoption Process Works

When you reach out to an adoption agency, you’ll be met with care, not judgment. Whether you’re considering adoption in South Dakota, North Dakota, or Nebraska, All About U Adoptions will guide you step-by-step:

1. Talk to a Counselor

You’ll start with a free, confidential conversation about your situation, feelings, and hopes for your child.

2. Create an Adoption Plan

An adoption plan outlines your preferences, including:

• The type of adoption (open, semi-open, or closed)
• The adoptive family you choose
• Your birth and hospital experience

3. Choose a Loving Family

You can view detailed profiles of hopeful families. In an open adoption, you can meet them, stay in contact, and build a lifelong connection.

4. Finalize the Adoption After Birth

You make the legal decision to place your baby for adoption after birth. This gives you space and time to feel certain and supported.

Can I Choose Adoption Later in Pregnancy or After Birth?

Yes. Adoption is always an option, whether you’re:

• 6 weeks pregnant
• In your second or third trimester
• In labor at the hospital
• Or already home with your newborn

You can still make an adoption plan even if you’ve already given birth. It’s never too late to choose what’s right for you.

Understanding Your Adoption Options

Your adoption experience should reflect your needs, comfort, and values. That’s why there are several types of adoption:

Open Adoption, Semi-Open Adoption, Closed Adoption

Stay connected through photos, updates, phone calls, or visits. Many women choose open adoption because it allows for ongoing relationships.

You can receive updates without direct contact. Communication typically goes through the adoption agency with a semi-open adoption. 

If privacy is important to you, closed adoption protects your identity and limits contact after placement.
