PREGNANT?
CONSIDER ADOPTION
A Caring Option
If this was an unplanned pregnancy and you do not feel prepared to be a parent to the child you are currently carrying, you may want to consider adoption. We know an unplanned pregnancy can be a crisis for you. If you feel you want to consider adoption, we can provide information and counseling regarding this choice. If you want to pursue an adoption plan, our agency can help you through this difficult time. We will provide education and information to help you explore this option. We will provide you with profile letters written by adoptive families for you to choose who you feel would be the best parents for your baby. Then we would set up a meeting for you to meet them in person, if this is your preference. You can have as much contact with them as you want before and after birth. We will help mediate a contact agreement, so that there is a written agreement that spells out what future contact will take place. We want to make sure your needs are met. We are an adoption agency licensed by the State of Georgia.
