How can I put my baby up for adoption after birth

Many women aren’t sure that adoption’s the right option until they deliver the baby. On the one hand, some women don’t realize they aren’t ready to parent or that they don’t want to parent until the baby is born and they are ready to go home.  On the other hand, some women know as soon as the baby is born. An adoption is still an option in these cases, and the process is the same as if they had planned to put a child up for adoption before birth.

Adoptive Parents are Comfortable With Adoption Planning After Birth

Adoptive parents are very comfortable adopting a baby in these last minute situations. There are many reasons for this.  First, when a baby comes last minute, the adoptive parents don’t have months beforehand to worry if the adoption will happen.  Second, most adoptive parents have been waiting a long time to adopt.  Even if they haven’t, most are ready to bring home a baby at the drop of a hat.  Third, adoptive parents are so honored and humbled that a woman would choose them to be their baby’s parents, that they don’t care how quickly things move. Finally, in many adoption situations a woman won’t have access to prenatal care.  If adoptive parents enter the picture after the baby is born, they will know immediately that the baby is healthy and doing well. This can ease some stress about preparing to take home a baby with special medical needs.

Making a last minute plan to put a baby up for adoption

When you make a last minute plan to put a baby up for for adoption after it’s born.  You don’t give up any rights that other young mothers have in an adoption. The only difference is that you will choose the parents closer to or after delivery. Generally speaking, most expectant mothers choose the adoptive parents immediately upon seeing their profile.
