I’ve delivered: Ask questions when considering giving up a baby after delivery

It could have been the excitement of possibilities that surrounded your unplanned pregnancy, but now that you can finally say, “I’ve delivered!,” reality does not match your expectations. It might be challenging to find a safe home, a stable income and reliable transportation. And promises of support from the father and family members have not materialized. It’s no wonder that you may be considering giving up a baby after delivery, or after trying your best for a few months. Our Texas adoptions agency has met hundreds of wonderful and loving women in the same situation.

Make a plan when considering giving up a baby after delivery

It takes a good mother who understands the options to choose the best future for her child. This may mean finding professional counselors to discuss what is best for you and your infant.

Today’s modern adoption plans allow for mothers to decide who will raise their child and to be as involved as they choose. After finally being able to say, “I’ve delivered,” new mothers may opt for a closed or open modern adoption, with any level of involvement with an adoptive family that the mother desires.

A modern adoption with Legacy Adoption Services offers you control and allows you to create the story you want for your child. Alternatively, mothers want to avoid losing control of the situation in the following scenarios.

• Leaving the baby at the hospital.
• Abandoning the infant at safe houses or with friends.
• Allowing Child Protective Services (CPS) to terminate parental rights and put the child in foster care or place it for adoption through the state system.

Considering giving up a baby after delivery to an unknown future doesn’t have to be your default position. Ask for help to find the best solution.
