Learning About Adoption ...
Your head may be spinning from your family and friends telling you what they think you should do. Parents tell you one thing. Friends tell you something else.
Adoption is a choice. It is like any other choice. It isn't the right choice for every woman but it may be right for you and your baby.
Whatever your reason for considering adoption today, you are not alone. And the good news is that women choosing adoption can play an active role in just about every step of the process. You can choose the parents for your child, receive counseling, create your own adoption plan, and meet the adoptive parents.
