About Adopted Children

Because of your decision, your child will grow up in a safe, loving home with parents who have spent years longing and preparing for them. Choosing adoption is a hard but heroic thing to do. When you choose to place your baby for adoption:

• You can pick the perfect adoptive family to provide the life you envision for your child
• You can stay in touch with the adoptive family and see your child thriving because of your decision
• Your child will grow up understanding his or her adoption story and appreciating you for making this choice
