This is probably a very difficult and stressful time in your life, if your pregnancy is an unplanned one. We know that unplanned does not mean unloved. You may not feel ready or able to care for a child at this time in your life, but there are options available to you. Adoption Access is a social service agency for birthmothers. We offer resources at no cost to birthmothers who are struggling with this important and life-long decision. You are making decisions for yourself and a child. Our counselors will help you look at all the options and resources available to make the plan that is right for you. You are the only one who can make the plan that is best for you and your child.

Adoption is one of the possible options to an unplanned pregnancy. More and more young women are choosing this path. It is not an easy choice but a very loving and courageous choice. Adoption is very different now than in the past. An individual counselor is there for each birthmother. She becomes a part of your support system, and is happy to be with you at labor and delivery if you want her there. She is there for more than emotional support too. She will make sure that you are receiving good medical care, and that your basic needs are being met for food and shelter. The agency is licensed by the state and is able to provide financial help for young women who qualify for assistance. This can range from medical care and maternity clothes to food, shelter and utilities. The agency can also provide transportation to counseling and to doctor appointments. We try very hard to make this time less stressful for you. Your counselor is there for you after the birth of your baby as well.

A birthmother is able to choose a family and is given a great deal of background information about them. She will be able to see pictures of the family, their home, grandparents, etc. She even knows why they cannot have children of their own. She can meet with the family she chooses as well if she wants to. There are far more families who cannot have children than there are children available. You can choose for your child a home with a long and stable two-parent marital history, financial stability, emotional stability, and psychological stability. Such an environment provides a firm foundation and healthy home in which your child can grow.
