About Adoption
The legal process of adoption empowers expectant mothers considering adoption to lead the plan. An expectant mother considering this option may choose to select the family who will adopt her child—where they live, how many kids are already in the family, their religious background, economic level, and more—whatever is important to her. She may also decide what level of contact she would like to maintain with her child after the adoption is finalized.
