I’m Pregnant and Plan to Place my Baby For Adoption.

I'm Pregnant & Placing my Baby for Adoption

“I am pregnant and plan to give my baby up for adoption. I’ve looked online and found some adoption agencies and attorneys are providing adoption services in Kansas. A friend of mine who put her baby up for adoption said I should call the attorney that she used. I’ve never even heard of an adoption attorney, what should I do?”

Good question! The Adoption Services & Law Group will explain the differences between adoption agencies and attorneys, and in the end the decision will be entirely yours.

Your Freedom

If you are pregnant and decide to give your child up for adoption through an adoption agency, you may need to follow strict rules.

Adoption attorneys, like me, allow an expectant mother to live on her own terms. She can make the choice that is best for her and her child. I will help you secure safe living arrangements and other help to make the situation as simple for you as possible.

Getting Legal Help

Both adoption agencies and attorneys can offer confidential legal services to pregnant women. Adoption agencies hire attorneys that ultimately represent them and their interests, not yours. But, an adoption attorney already knows all the legal aspects of adoption and is working for you. In Kansas an adoption attorney can work with both you and the couple that you eventually select to adopt your baby. This helps to make sure that decisions you make are carried out throughout the pregnancy and after the adoption.

Birth Mother Support

It may take multiple days for the agency caseworker to arrange financial help and support for birth mothers.

Most adoption attorneys work with the birth mother directly and can provide real-time help and support. I provide more personalized service and experience for the birth mother because I will work with you from the first moment you call.

Choosing Best Family For Your Baby

Adoption attorneys use large networks to help pregnant moms choose the best family for their babies. There are roughly 350 adoption attorneys across the United States and most will work together to provide you with options that best suit your requirements for a family for your baby. Most agencies maintain a list of adoptive families hoping to adopt. Pregnant moms can select a family only from that current list.
