I’m Pregnant and Considering Adoption for My Baby

We are happy to offer you the option to meet and talk via FaceTime, Skype, Zoom or the phone since meeting in person right now is difficult. Feel free to reach out 24/7 to 1-888- OPENARMS or email us at info@openarmsadoption.net and we would be happy to chat.

If you are pregnant, and not sure that you are ready to parent, we can help.

It’s never too early or too late in your pregnancy to contact us if  you are pregnant. Open Arms will provide non-judgmental, personal support to help you decide what is best for you and your baby. If you want to learn more about making an adoption plan with Open Arms, call us anytime at 1-888-OPENARMS (888.673.6276) or email us at info@openarmsadoption.net.

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.

You Are In Charge - Supporting 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.
Local Counselors, Resources, Families Waiting to Adopt – Ensuring that you have what you need within reach
With offices in PA, NJ, DE & NY, 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 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.

Your Adoption Options

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.
