13 Jun Why Choosing Adoption is Not ‘Giving a Baby Up For Adoption’

When you choose adoption, you have chosen to make a new life for your baby — and for yourself! So instead of saying “giving the baby up for adoption,” we say “placing a baby for adoption.”

While the adoption decision can feel overwhelming, the actual adoption process doesn’t need to be. At Cradle of Hope, our caring professionals understand the anxiety that comes with your adoption choice. We are committed to providing expectant mothers with support throughout the entire adoption process. Your Adoption Coordinator is here to offer you non-judgmental support and guidance during each step.

Choosing adoption is a positive, selfless decision. Plus, an established adoption plan, in which the baby is born with the adoptive family already chosen and waiting at the hospital, is a beautiful and special thing.

When you use Cradle of Hope’s adoption services — whether you’re just a few months pregnant or thinking of adoption for your child — we’ll help you set up an adoption plan. Lifetime also helps you select the right adoptive parents for your baby or child. All of our hopeful adoptive parents go through a lengthy, detailed process before they can adopt. In-depth screening, interviews, and background checks are done on every hopeful parent, as well as a visit to their home to make sure it is a safe place for your child.

Cradle of Hope’s dedicated, caring professionals work to connect expectant mothers with loving adoptive families. If you have any questions about adoption, get in touch with us today by calling 301-587-4400 or texting 301-905-9999.
