21 Sep Adoption Services Timeline: What to Expect from First Call to Placement
Dealing with an unplanned pregnancy? Are you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and hopeful? Do not worry. These feelings are valid. For more than 62 years, Colorado Christian Services (CCS) has supported women facing unplanned pregnancies with the best adoption services that empower them to explore their options.
Start with Information
The first step is learning about your options. Gathering information allows you to understand what adoption looks like today, ask questions, and explore what may be best for you and your child. Reaching out for guidance does not commit you to any decision. It gives you the confidence you need to move forward.
All About Adoption Today
When some people hear the word “adoption,” they picture outdated stories of secrecy or loss of control. But adoption today looks very different.
Modern adoption can be open, semi-open, or closed. As a birthmother, you get to decide what feels right. Many birth parents choose the adoptive family themselves. They get to decide how much contact they want and remain part of the child’s life in ways that feel healthy and respectful. Giving your baby up for adoption isn’t about giving up; rather, it’s about making a thoughtful plan.
You Have More Choice and Control Than Ever Before
One of the biggest changes in adoption is the level of control available to birth mothers. If you choose adoption, you can make important decisions about your child’s future, including:
- Selecting the adoptive family
- Choosing the type of adoption
- Deciding how much contact you would like with your child and the adoptive family
- Creating an adoption plan
Adoption is not about giving up control. It is about creating a thoughtful plan for your child’s future while receiving support along the way.
Adoptive Families -Carefully Screened, Waiting
Every adoptive family working with CCS completes a thorough screening and approval process. You can choose a waiting family that aligns with what matters most to you. Whether you envision:
- A couple who have been hoping and waiting for a child
- A family with other children
- A home that reflects your values, interests, culture, or faith
