Just Delivered Your Baby?

It’s not too late to reach out. We are here to support you. Open Arms can meet with you in the hospital to talk more about the option of adoption, within an hour or two. We can help meet your needs, assist with hospital discharge, drive you home, and help with any insurance issues.

Struggling At Home Raising Your Baby?

We are here if you are struggling at home to trying to take care of your baby. If you have questions about adoption and how it works, please reach out. We can meet you at a place that is comfortable for you so we can learn more about your situation, and help you explore if adoption might be an option worth considering. We have many families who are open to adopting babies or toddlers.

What Makes Open Arms Adoption Different?

We are a LOCAL agency and can meet you wherever you’re most comfortable, and can do so right away if you would like; we can offer real, in-person visits and get to know you face-to-face, not just by phone calls, emails or texts.

We are happy to meet with you in person as we are a LOCAL agency that has been working in your community for decades.

We are not an adoption agency that is soley internet based. 

Why Does This Matter To You? For such an important decision having an adoption counselor local to you can provide you with the best support now and in the years to come.

Your Baby. Your Choice.

This is about you and your baby. You make the decisions about what is right for you. And with Open Arms you will never feel pressure from us to give your baby up for adoption. Women we work with feel empowered to consider all options and they ultimately choose the option that is right for them. You determine whatever level of support is right for you, and with Open Arms, you will never feel pressure from us for you to move forward with giving your baby up for adoption. Again, your baby, your choice.

Benefits of Working with a LOCAL Adoption Agency

LOCAL Counselors, Resources, Families Waiting to Adopt – Ensuring that you have what you need within reach
With offices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware & New York, we provide LOCAL resources to ensure that you have personalized support to include:

  1. A LOCAL counselor to meet with you to answer your questions about adoption
  2. A LOCAL counselor to support you at the hospital helping to ensure your needs are met and your privacy is protected
  3. LOCAL resources to help you get back on your feet
  4. LOCAL adoptive families, should you want to stay in touch

Ongoing Adoption Support

Ongoing Support – Offering you personalized support during your pregnancy and after you give birth
In addition to our free in-person counseling, which is available to you as long as needed, we offer free support and mentor groups for women considering adoption, and for those whose children have already been adopted.

Every woman desires a different level of support and you can decide what is right for you. This is your adoption plan.

Our birth and adoptive parents become a part of our Open Arms family; we are committed to meeting the needs of everyone who works with us.

Choosing the Type of Adoption that Works for You

Should you decide to put your baby up for adoption, you can choose the adoptive family that is right for your baby and the level of future contact that you makes you feel comfortable. Or you can choose not to be invloved in selecting the adoptive family and instead your agency will choose the right Open Arms family for your baby.

Open Adoption
In Open Adoption, birth and adoptive families maintain direct contact with one another through photos, letters and visits. For those birthmoms who enjoy visiting with their child and new family, getting together two or three times a year is typical but not required.

Semi-Open Adoption
Women who choose Semi-Open Adoption stay connected to the adoptive family and child with the ongoing support of Open Arms.

Confidential Adoption
For those women who feel staying in touch may be too emotionally difficult, Confidential Adoption offers the birth parents the opportunity to plan an adoption while maintaining complete privacy and confidentiality throughout the years. But, even down the road in a Confidential Adoption, if a woman desires to reconnect with the Adoptive Family and child, Open Arms would be happy to assist in this process.
