Legal Representation: Protecting Your Rights and Your Adoption Plan
Adoption is a legal process, and making sure your rights are protected is essential. Having the right legal guidance ensures that you understand every step of the process and feel confident in your decision.
- Worried about birth father rights? A legal expert can help you understand your options.
- Concerned about signing adoption paperwork? Your legal representative will walk you through everything before you sign.
- Need independent representation? Many adoption agencies provide free legal services, but you can also work with a private adoption attorney.
Mediation Services: Maintain Privacy and Set Boundaries
Not all birth mothers want direct contact with adoptive families during or after the adoption process. If you prefer privacy, guidance, or structured communication, mediation services can help.
- Prefer a private adoption? A mediator ensures your personal details remain confidential.
- Need help with an open adoption agreement? A mediator helps set expectations and boundaries.
- Want communication but feel unsure? Mediation lets you gradually build a comfortable relationship with the adoptive family.
Open vs. Closed Adoption: Which Is Right for You?
Understanding the different types of adoption can help you make a decision that feels right:
| Adoption Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Open Adoption | Ongoing contact with the adoptive family, including visits, calls, or letters. |
| Semi-Open Adoption | Communication through a mediator or agency, with limited direct contact. |
| Closed Adoption | No contact with the adoptive family after placement. |

Pregnancy comes with extra expenses—medical bills, maternity care, groceries, and transportation. You shouldn’t have to struggle financially while making the best decision for your baby.
Many adoption agencies offer financial support to help with:
✅ Rent and utilities
