Yes! You can choose the family for your baby and talk to them and meet them if you want. You also get pictures and letters throughout the years with updates from the family that you choose to parent your child.

First, know that we have done the hard work of checking the family out for you. Our requirements are very strict, so you can be sure that all of our families have gone through an in-depth process and have been approved to adopt.

This process includes interviews with a counselor, visits to their home, written references from their friends and family, verification of their income and employment, criminal and child abuse background checks both locally and nationally, medical evaluations, adoption education, and parenting classes.

When a family finishes all of this, we assess whether they are good candidates to be adoptive parents. You can be sure that the families you see here have met our strict requirements and would be thrilled to be considered as the family for your child.

Yes, making an adoption plan allows you to receive assistance with some pregnancy-related needs including housing, utility bills, medical care, maternity clothing, and groceries. Within the parameters of Florida law, we can make sure you have what you need to have a healthy pregnancy. Having a baby is stressful enough, you shouldn’t be stressing about how to pay your electric bill too.

First, you can contact us to set up a meeting with an ASC counselor as soon as you are able to meet. We can come to you, and we can meet you wherever you are most comfortable—your home, a public place, or our office. You can tell your counselor what you’re thinking—questions, fears, desires for how the process will turn out. We will talk with you about the legal process, how we can help you financially, and help you craft an adoption plan for your baby that is what you want. You can stop working with us at any time if you choose not to proceed with your plan.

You are in control of your hospital stay, and your counselor will help you think through what is best for you.

You can write a letter to your baby—whatever you want to do to make this time special.

We will visit you in the hospital, and you can sign the legal adoption papers 48 hours after the birth of your baby or when you are discharged from the hospital if that is sooner. In most cases, the baby can be placed directly with the adoptive parents as soon as he or she is discharged from the hospital.

Recover physically and emotionally.

Being pregnant takes a toll on your body, and placing a child for adoption can take a toll on your emotions. If you can, take time to rest, think, pray, and get ready to jump back into life. Continue meeting with us, and we will walk through it with you.

If you’d like, you can get updates with pictures and letters from the family you chose throughout the child’s life. If you and the family agreed on other types of communication, that can happen at this point too.

Most women aren’t sure about their decision when they contact us. In fact, it is rare that a woman feels sure much at all since it is such a life-changing and significant choice. It is normal to question yourself and go back and forth in your thoughts. Don’t worry, we can still talk even when you’re unsure and help you think through your options.

You cannot be sure of such an important decision without gathering all the facts first. We would like to be able to provide you with education and resources.

You can take all the time you need to decide. We get calls from women at every stage of pregnancy and even after the baby has been born. Sometimes a mother realizes that parenting isn’t the best solution after she has taken her baby home from the hospital. Every person is an individual, and that is why it is important to talk through what is best for you and your baby.

Women of all ages and stages in life choose adoption. For some this is their first child, while others are already parenting older children. Both single women and married couples choose adoption when they believe it is the best way to provide what they dream of for their child. I am not pregnant—I already have a baby or an older child. Can I choose adoption? Absolutely and the process is very similar. By choosing private adoption, you will be able to choose the family, and get updates and pictures of your child/children. It is never too late to choose adoption.
