If your initial response to adoption is "I could never carry a baby for nine months and then give my baby away," you understand the unique bond of love that develops between a birthmother and her child during pregnancy. We can assist you in exploring the option of adoption without any obligation. You can take your time during the course of your pregnancy to get the information you need, make the choice that is right for you, and begin to plan and prepare for your future and for the care of your child.

A birthmom can be involved in selecting a loving couple to provide a home for her child, and in setting up a plan for periodic pictures and updates about the child's growth and development. An adoption plan can be made during pregnancy, but adoption is not finalized until after the baby's birth. Two of the agencies that we refer to are Bethany Christian Services and Christian Adoption Services.

We can refer you to a maternity home where you can prepare for your final decision in a safe environment while continuing your education. Someone from our center would be available to accompany you to tour the home and meet with the director and houseparents. Homes that we refer to are the Christian Life Home in Raleigh, Lois' Lodge in Matthews, and The Royal Home in Salemburg.

We can provide the emotional support, educational assistance, and resources you will need to thoroughly examine adoption and make the decision that is right for you. Adoption, although never easy, can be a loving choice for your child and a door of hope for you and your future. Birthmothers can look back on their decision to place their child with a loving married couple as a decision that gives life twice: to the baby and to a couple who long for a child.
