Adoption

Adoption may be an option that you are seriously considering.  Or you may just want to get more information and learn about it.  You might feel that would never be the option for you.  Whatever your thoughts, it is always good to have information about all of your choices before you make your final decision.

Adoption might be just the right choice for you and your baby.  When you consider an adoption plan for your child it does not mean that you don’t love your baby.  It means you are thinking about how to best meet needs of both you and the baby.

Adoption has changed.  Open adoptions are quite common now and involve an ongoing, dynamic relationship between you, the adoptive parents and the child.  While it is true that  your parental rights and responsibilities are given to another set of parents, there is the ability to have a relationship with your child.

There are different types of open adoption to best meet the needs of all the parties involved.  It is not an easy choice or one that should be taken lightly.  Empower yourself with the information you need and give yourself time to carefully consider what is the right decision for you and your child.

Here at Horizon we are here to help empower you with the information and to refer you to agencies that can assist you in making your decision.
