Things to Consider

Considering making an adoption plan for your child can be a difficult thing to do. As you go through this process to figure out if making an adoption plan is right for you and your child, it may be helpful to ask yourself the following questions.

 

  • How would a child fit into my life now?

  • Can I provide for everything my child needs? If not, what resources are available to help me (food pantries, pregnancy resource centers, WIC, food stamps, public assistance, etc.)? 

  • Who can I rely on for childcare?

  • If I had endless resources, would I choose to parent this child?

  • What will I think about my decision in a year? 5 years?

  • What do I know about the adoption process and what my options are?

  • Would I feel better about adoption knowing that I can still have some contact with my child?
