03 Mar Understanding Your Adoption Options: A Birth Mother’s Guide to the Process

Dealing with an unplanned pregnancy can be challenging. If you’re planning to give your child up for adoption, you may have concerns about the process. Understanding adoption options for birth mothers is necessary. 

Open Adoption

Open adoption allows birth mothers to be a part of their child’s life while giving them a stable home.

Semi-Open Adoption

Semi-open adoption provides a balance between open and closed adoption. Birth mothers may receive updates and pictures but have limited contact.

Closed Adoption

In a closed adoption, there is no communication between the birth mother and the adoptive family. This option is ideal for those who prefer privacy.

The Adoption Process

• We are a trusted non-profit adoption agency in Colorado. With more than 60 years of experience, CCS can help explore your unplanned pregnancy options. 
• If you choose adoption, our caseworkers will help you create your personalized adoption plan. As an expectant mother, you have the right to select which adoption plan is best for you. 
• Our pre-screened and approved adoptive parents are waiting to start their families through adoption. You can choose a family that fits you and your child best. We can provide you with choices and resources. You control every step of your process, and we provide support along the way.
• We provide free counseling and can help with pregnancy-related expenses as needed, such as transportation, medical care access, food, rental assistance, and maternity clothing.
• Post-adoption, you’ll likely feel a vast range of emotions. But remember, you’re not alone. We will continue to meet with you for as long as you want. We also offer a monthly support group with other women who have walked a similar path.
