Considering Adoption?
Making an adoption plan for your baby may or may not be something you have considered, but it is one of the options you have. An adoption plan is a courageous and selfless choice that is not arrived at easily. If you are considering adoption, you need to know that this is a choice that will show your child that you loved him enough to give him a future that you did not feel able to provide at the time. Many people who have been adopted experience gratitude towards their birth parents for choosing life for them. If you are considering adoption, we would love to talk to you about your options. While we are not an adoption agency, we can help facilitate the process with you. We can also share information with you and connect you with strong, caring organizations that can help you . . . . and we will be here to support you on every step of your adoption journey.
This page contains links to resources to educate you on adoption and to help you as you consider this option, as well as information for adoptive parents and churches.
