Can I Choose Adoption If I Already Had My Baby?

It’s never too late to choose adoption. 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 you to get your needs met, assist with hospital discharge, drive you home, and help with any insurance issues.

Can I Choose Adoption If I Already Took My Baby Home?

We are here if you are struggling at home trying to raise 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.

Your Baby. Your Choice.

This is about you and your baby. You make the decisions about what is right for you. 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.

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.

Open Adoption
In Open Adoption, birth and adoptive families maintain direct contact with one another through photos, letters and visits.

Semi-Open Adoption
Women who choose Semi-Open Adoption stay connected to the adoptive family through the ongoing involvement 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 baby, Open Arms would be happy to assist in this process.
