Is Adoption Right for You?

We feel that adoption is the option that can benefit the most people in what begins as a frightening situation.

You may have heard or used common phrases like “giving a baby up for adoption” or “putting a baby up for adoption in Colorado.” Blame-placing phrases like these are made to sound as if you are going to “give away your baby,” but that’s far from the reality of modern adoption.

When you’re considering adoption in Colorado, you’re doing so because you feel adoption is the way to give your baby the best life possible, where they can be raised by a family who has been waiting to bring them into their lives.

Common questions at this stage of thinking about adoption in Colorado often include:

• “Will I be able to have a relationship with my child after the adoption?”

• “Is adoption free?”

• “Does the baby’s father need to be involved?”

• And  more

How Do You Want Your Adoption to Go?

• You choose your child’s adoptive parents

• You choose how you want your time in the hospital to go

• You decide how much post-adoption communication you feel comfortable sharing with your child and their family

• And more

We’ll be here to talk you through all of your options and offer you support through every legal and emotional step of putting your baby up for adoption in Colorado. You’ll always have the information and support that you need to make the most informed decisions throughout your adoption planning process.

What Kind of Adoptive Parents Do You Want for Your Child?

Women who’ve placed a child for adoption through American Adoptions often found that they “knew” their child’s family when they saw their adoption profile on our website.

Here’s how the process of finding adoptive parents when you’re giving baby up for adoption in Colorado generally goes:

• You and your American Adoptions specialist will talk about the kind of family you envision your child growing up with, including where they live, religious affiliations, hobbies, siblings they may have and more.

• Your CO adoption specialist will show you adoption profiles of waiting adoptive parents who match what you’re looking for, and then you can talk to the family you select via conference call.

• You can continue communicating with the adoptive family about your shared hopes for your child up until the delivery.

• If you place your baby once he or she is born, you can continue your relationship with an open adoption in any way you’re all comfortable with.

When giving baby up for adoption, the bond between you and your child’s family is a unique one that can last a lifetime, much like extended family. You decide the kind of post-adoption relationship you’re comfortable with as well as the adoptive parents who feel right to you.

What Do You Want Your Time in the Hospital to Be Like?

Establishing a hospital plan when you’re considering adoption in Colorado can help you feel ready and relaxed. Your hospital plan will outline what you’re comfortable with, including:

• If you want the adoptive family to be with you in the hospital and to what extent you want them to be involved in the baby’s birth.

• Who you’d like to support you in the hospital and/or delivery room.

• Who holds your baby and at what times.

• If there are any keepsakes, letters, or photos you’d like your child and their adoptive family to have to remember the special day by.

Once the baby is born, you may give your formal consent to adoption at any point. By consenting to an adoption in Colorado, you terminate your legal parental rights and place your child with their adoptive family.

What Kind of Post-Adoption Communication Do You Want with Your Child and their Family?

Giving up a baby for adoption in Colorado isn’t the end of your relationship. You can stay a part of your child’s life through an open adoption. In fact, 9 out of 10 birth parents choose some form of open adoption vs closed adoption. This is simply another option that you can choose from.

While post-adoption communication can take any form after giving up a baby for adoption in Colorado, open adoptions often include:

• Emails

• Photos

• Letters

• Phone calls

• Visits

• Or any combination of communication methods

Open adoption relationships tend to be flexible and grow and change over time, depending on what makes everyone feel happy and loved. Some birth parents prefer very open relationships with their child and their parents, while other birth families are more comfortable with a more closed adoption or less frequent contact. Whatever your desires, your adoption speicalist will explain your options and help you create a personalized open adoption plan.

That choice, and all others when placing a baby for adoption in Colorado, is yours.
