Her Choice to Place for Adoption

Adoption can be a healthy choice for a woman or couple facing an unplanned pregnancy. A decision to make an adoption plan is often empowering to the woman or couple and beneficial for the child by giving the child the opportunity to live in a two-parent, financially stable home. Here are reasons that adoption might be chosen:

• Not yet financially ready to raise a child and want the child to have a financially stable home.
• Would like to reach educational or career goals before starting a family.
• Not in a healthy living situation and want a better home for their baby.
• The woman’s partner is not interested in being a support during pregnancy and parenting and she wants the baby to be raised in a two-parent, supportive home.
