Adoption – Alpha Women's Center

Adoption Information

When there are no easy options, some women and couples ask: could adoption be right for me and my baby? There is plenty of time to consider whether adoption is the right parenting choice for your child. If you are considering adoption, you have the right to understand how adoption could affect you and to receive support, including counseling during and after your pregnancy.

Types of Adoption

There are three primary types of adoption: open, semi-open and closed adoption. While each one is a viable option if you are considering adoption, it’s up to you to make the right decision for your unique situation. The types of adoption vary in how much contact you have with both your child and the adoptive parents, as well as the amount of information that is given out for both parties involved during the process.

What to Ask Yourself Before Choosing Adoption

Will I be able to properly support my child?
Do I want my child to grow up in a two-parent household?
How much contact would I want with my child after the adoption?
Will the father of my child be involved in the process?
Will I get to choose the family my child goes to?

We can help you answer these questions and more during your appointment. Contact us today to schedule your free and confidential options counseling appointment. We are here to empower you to make an educated decision regarding your pregnancy.

Alpha's free services have helped me to put trust in myself of being a single mother. The services have taught and encouraged me to be the best parent I can be towards my child. I have also made some mommy friends to help support me along the way while I support them as well.

Alpha’s free services has impacted my life by teaching me a lot about being a parent that I never knew about since I’m a first time mom. It also helped with providing me with clothes, formula, diapers and wipes for my baby.

I was really in a dark place before I came out to Alpha. Now, I feel a sense of direction. So, emotionally, I have grown.

Without the staff and volunteers at Alpha, I wouldn't have faith to keep moving forward. They not only saved my spirit, but helped me choose a more wise path .

I saw a sign that said "Free Ultrasounds" and stopped in. I discovered the Women's center and all the awesome things it has to offer. Alpha Services have helped me so much through their classes. All the ladies are so nice and generous and have helped answer any questions I have.

The first that I walked through the doors at Alpha, I saw no light at the end of the tunnel. The Alpha staff offered me lots of information in an effort to assist me in making an educated decision and helped me avoid decisions I would later regret. They supported me, uplifted me and showed me the world is still full of possibilities. The openness in sharing personal experiences is reassuring to those that come through the door and offers a feeling of comfort and immediate connection.
