Adoption can be a good solution for an unplanned pregnancy.
There are many couples and individuals who are hoping to adopt a child. A child
placed in an adoptive home is loved and cherished. You will have a special
place in the adoptive parents’ hearts for giving the child life and honoring
them by entrusting that life to a family that you have especially chosen.
Today, more than ever before, birthparents have many options as
they consider an adoption plan for their child.
You may choose to work with an adoption agency in placing your
child or you may choose to retain an attorney to guide you with an
"independent adoption." You have the right to choose the adoptive
parents and meet them personally. After the adoptive placement, you can request
letters and pictures from the adoptive family on a regularly scheduled basis.
This contact can even be extended to include visitations if all parties are in
agreement. An Adoption Agreement , outlining your requests, can be drafted
between you and the adoptive parents that is legally binding in the State of
Birthparents will not be responsible for any expenses related to
the adoption. Adoptive parents will pay for your counsel whether it be with a
social worker, adoption agency, or an attorney. Further, all medical costs not
covered by insurance or the Oregon State Medical Assistance Plan, as well as
room and board expenses for the time you are unable to work because of the
pregnancy, are the responsibility of the adoptive parents.
