Discussing your adoption plan after you have decided to place your baby for adoption

If you have already made your adoption plan, you need to talk to your birth father about your decision. Here are some tips.

If you feel comfortable, try talking to the birth father about adoption in person. If that isn’t possible, make a phone call. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to him, ask someone at our agency to speak to him for you.

Calmly discuss the subject. Talk about the reasons you have chosen to place your baby for adoption with a loving family.

Ask him how he feels about your plan to deal with your unplanned pregnancy and listen to his concerns.

Invite him to talk to the counselors at our agency. They can provide support and important information. For example, he may not know that modern adoption practices allow the two of you to choose to receive updates about your child, photos or even have some contact with him or her. Our staff can explain how the process works.
