A Baby Step Adoption agrees with the results from The Early Growth and Development Study, the national study of birth parents and adoptive families. This study provides a rare glimpse of the birth family’s choices and attitudes through every stage of the adoption process. When deciding why they chose
adoption, Birthmothers responded, it was “pretty important to very important” that:
95% They were able to screen and select the adoptive parents.
84% They were able to talk with, e-mail, or meet potential adoptive parents before the birth.
60% They had access to post-adoption services, like counseling, support groups, and updates from adoptive parents.
47% They received counseling.
26% They were able to talk with other people who had made an adoption plan.
22% The agency or the adoptive family paid for medical care.
We agree that these are vital when Birthmothers choose adoption.
This blog is very informative. Thanks! Placing a child for adoption is the most strenuous and emotional decision for a birth mother who is willing to give up her baby for adoption for certain reasons. But, it is also a virtuous and respectable decision for a birth mother as she is giving a better life for her child. You can find some ethical adoption agencies on the internet like adoptabsc.org, that provides the service to adoptive families who want to bring a child in the family and also supporting birth mothers who are considering to place a child for adoption for certain reasons.
