Guide to Place a Baby for Adoption
Start With a Confidential Conversation
Your first step can be a simple talk with one of our adoption professionals. Florida Adoption Law Group, P.A., helps expectant mothers learn about their choices in a private and confidential setting. You can ask adoption-related questions and explore your options before deciding whether adoption is right for you.
Review and Choose an Adoptive Family
If you choose adoption, you may have a say in choosing the adoptive family. You can learn about families who are waiting to adopt. The profiles include their photos and letters. If you want to communicate with the family, we can also help arrange a meeting or a virtual conversation.
Personalize an Adoption Plan for Your Baby
Your adoption plan will reflect your preferences for your baby. You can decide what type of family you want for your baby and what the level of contact you wish for after placement (open, semi-open, or closed).
Plan Your Hospital Stay
Your hospital stay is another part of your plan. You can talk about whom you want with you, your birth wishes, and how you want things to happen after your baby is born. You may also want to think about whether you want time with your baby before signing the adoption consent. Our attorneys will help you learn about your legal rights and what to expect.
Explore Your Future Contact After Adoption
You can also talk about what may happen after the adoption. Some adoption plans include photos, letters, phone calls, or other forms of contact.
You can discuss your preferences for future contact with your adoption professional and the prospective adoptive family, including the types of updates or communication you would like.
Know Your Legal Rights
Adoption includes legal papers and consent. This is why legal help is important. Our adoption attorneys at FALG can help you understand your legal rights and help at the time of consent signing. You can also ask for copies of the papers you sign.
