Reasons to Adopt

It’s not always infertility. Our Texas adoption center shares five reasons to adopt

If you are an expectant parent considering placing your baby for adoption, you want to be sure your baby will go into a family that is committed to a lifetime of love. Our Texas adoption center understands that people’s reasons to adopt are as unique as they are. Knowing all the facts about adoption includes understanding why so many people wish to welcome a baby into their lives and homes.

Sometimes, pregnancy isn’t possible

Sadly, infertility is one of the most common reasons to adopt. Many of our waiting couples have tried to have a baby for years, with no success. Often, this includes fertility treatment, which is both physically and emotionally challenging – especially when that long-awaited positive pregnancy test never comes.

For some women, pregnancy is impossible or unsafe. Some are born without normally functioning reproductive organs, while others have had a hysterectomy or other medical procedure that prevents pregnancy. Some have experienced recurrent miscarriages or have medical conditions that make pregnancy risky. If a woman or her partner carry a genetic disorder, they may wish to avoid passing down a life-threatening medical condition to future generations of their family. All of these are common reasons to adopt.

Our Texas adoption center has a special heart for these couples, who dream of growing their families and have so much love to give. Infertility is a difficult path, and pregnant mothers who choose the gift of adoption are truly making a dream come true for these deserving parents.

Four more reasons to adopt

When hopeful parents come to our Texas adoption center, they often list a combination of factors as reasons they wish to adopt a baby.

  1. Becoming parents is more important than getting pregnant. The couples we work with have one goal above all else: They simply want to add a child to their family.
  2. They have a heart for mothers facing unplanned pregnancies. Our waiting couples view women who place their babies through our Texas adoption center as brave and selfless. The believe that the mother deserves as much happiness as the baby, and they are glad to support her adoption plan and her future success in life.
  3. They have a heart for the thousands of children across the world who are living in temporary homes. Many couples want to become parents to a baby who is at risk of entering the foster care system. They express a passion for the foster care and adoption movement, and want to become active participants in it.
  4. They are called. Of the many reasons to adopt, this is the one we hear most often. By the time a couple comes to our Texas adoption center, they are already in love with the idea of adoption. They express an undeniably strong pull, a heartfelt desire, a poking in the back of their minds that won’t go away. We can testify that the couples we work with can hardly wait to meet the newest member of their family.
