Private Adoption

Maybe you should check into private adoption. Agency adoption is so expensive. Ask for reffs.

When placing through an agency, there should be NO cost to the expectant parents.

Glitter-First, I am an adoptive parent. I hope you don't mind me responding. I agree, anyone can put on a show but if you meet with them more than once and get to know them, you can get more of a feel for them. I am not aware of any expenses that our biomoms had to pay. In fact, many states allow for birthmother expenses to be paid. In our situation, both of our birthmothers had to be put on bedrest so they couldn't work, so the agency paid their monthly expenses before and after pregnancy for a period of time. Check out a reputable agency in your area and find out what your options are for expenses if you need them.

On the other hand, if you decide to go with the safe haven law, you don't get to choose the parents for your baby. If you pick the parents, you get to choose whether you want an open or semi-open adoption and how involved you want to be in the future.

You also have a lot of time to think about this and look into other options, such as the possibility of keeping you baby and parenting and how you could get assistance to do that. I do pray you get peace with whatever decision you make. Blessings to you.

I placed my baby boy for adoption just under three years ago. I know how many questions are going through your head. If you wanna talk I am here.
