1. What are my Options?

Considering Your Options Takes Courage and Love

Your unselfish decision to give your precious child life is truly an Act of Love. In planning for you and your child’s future, you are showing great responsibility and courage. As you consider your options only you know what is right for your baby. Most women become more confident with their decision to place their baby for adoption as they are able to ask questions, meet with a counselor, select an adoptive family and have their needs met. Making the decision to place your child for adoption is an important decision and you should feel comfortable with the adoption professionals that you choose. Your adoption planning can begin at any time during your pregnancy or even after the birth of your child. The courageous steps you are taking show how deeply you love your baby. Giving your baby life will bring great joy to a family that is waiting with open arms and provide your child with many wonderful opportunities to grow and be loved. Making an adoption plan can also help you achieve your dreams and plans. As we assist you throughout your adoption process and pregnancy, we offer our friendship that is also symbolized by the daisies throughout our information. Our counselors, coordinators and experienced staff understand that planning for your child’s future is an important, emotional decision and pledge to be here for you as an adoption professional and friend.

“Everyone at Act of Love was very helpful, no matter the reason I called, or what time of day or night. I was always treated with care and respect. I was given a lot of helpful information on options and received what I asked for quickly. My coordinator, Jessica, answered me promptly, no matter what time I needed her. She was amazing in meeting my needs and my kids needs. My counselor gave me help on how to cope with problems I may have in the future and helped me with community resources. She offered counseling in the future when I may need it. I felt protected. I hope to someday come back and volunteer and work for A Act of Love. I felt like I had a family with me thru the whole process.” Birth Mom Christina

“It’s been 7 years since I placed my baby for adoption. I thank you so much for the awesome support. I had a hard time at first meeting the adoptive parents at first. I didn’t want to change my mind. I knew this is what was best for my baby. I kept in contact with them throughout the years. This weekend they came to my hometown and I was able to meet them. They are awesome. I couldn’t have picked better parents then I did. My baby is blessed to have them. My heart feels eased now that i was able to hug them and thank them for all they do. I thank A Act of Love for helping me find them.” Happy Birth Mom

8. What will happen at the hospital?

Creating Your Hospital Plan

Your counselor will help you create a hospital plan that will provide the environment you wish as you delivery your baby, say hello to your sweet, precious baby and place your baby in the loving arms of the adoptive family. You may wish to have the adoptive family at the hospital delivery room or waiting near the nursery. You can decide if you would like the baby in the room with you or if you want to visit at the nursery. The time you spend with the adoptive family in the hospital can be a wonderful time of bonding and building a relationship or you may choose to spend time with them following discharge. Discharging the baby can usually happen with your discharge or you can choose the agency to discharge the baby with the adoptive family. This plan can be created right away or the pieces may come together as you work through the last days of your pregnancy. Regardless of your decisions, you have the option to make changes at anytime.

9. What happens after placement?

Taking Care of You

Following the delivery and relinquishment of your baby, depending on the plan you created, you may receive assistance for your confinement period (usually 6 weeks following delivery). We believe that it is important for you to begin moving forward with your life and finding a happy, stable plan for yourself. The adoptive family can help to provide you with housing, food and utilities so you can recover from your delivery and start the plans for your future. You will have the support and counseling from the Act of Love staff as you start the path to your recovery.
