“I had never known anyone who’d been through adoption, and I had a lot of questions,” Sara said. “Social worker Erin immediately returned my call. She answered my questions, and we discussed the concept of adoption. When I hung up the phone (crying), I knew this was the right choice for me and the baby. It was what my child deserved.”

How an Adoption Specialist Can Help Prospective Birth Parents
As a prospective birth parent, you are making a selfless, loving and brave decision to place your baby for adoption. It is not an easy choice to make, but it is one that can be incredibly rewarding.

- Find the right adoptive family for your baby
