As a private adoption attorney, my office serves as an adoption resource for prospective birth mothers. If you are considering whether adoption is the right choice for you and your baby, I invite you to contact me by phone or email. I am happy to travel to meet with you.
You will be working with a real person - me - instead of a bureaucratic organization or agency. Although I can't be your attorney, I can handle the arrangements necessary to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed, loving choice about who will parent your child. All potential adoptive parents must be screened by a court-approved social worker to ensure they are able to provide a good home for a child, but you might want to know even more than that. You can choose adoptive parents who have other children or are childless, who are of a specific religious faith, or who live in a particular town.
You also have the right to decide if you would like to make an open or a confidential adoption plan. We can arrange for you to receive medical care if you are not already seeing a doctor, and some living expenses may also be available, within the boundaries of state law. If you are interested in talking to someone about your adoption plan, either before birth or after your child is placed, we can also make counseling services available.
I will never try to talk you into making an adoption plan for your baby if you are undecided. My goal is just to make sure you have access to the resources and support that will allow you to feel confident about your decision, if you determine that adoption is in your child's best interests.
