Adoption Resources Available  with a Missouri Adoption Agency

By Andreia Pereia

Are you currently pregnant and don’t know what to do? There are some options to consider when you have an unplanned pregnancy. You can either become a parent, terminate the pregnancy or choose adoption. With choosing adoption, there is a lot of key information to know. Looking up adoption agencies near me is the first step.

Adoption Choices of Missouri can help you learn about the ins and outs of adoption. Did you know there are 3 types of openness in adoption? They are open, closed, or semi-open adoption. Open adoption is when you can communicate directly with the adoptive family. You are given many adoptive family profiles. Semi-open adoption is a bit more private. You’re still able to choose the adoptive family. However, communication is made through a third party like us. Closed adoption is when no identifying information is shared. We would choose the adoptive family and communicate with them. When you choose adoption, you may qualify for financial assistance. Since every situation is different, financial assistance can also differ. We have many resources to help you in your adoption journey. 

1. Expectant Mother and Healthcare

One of the most important things for expectant mothers is being healthy. Giving birth can be complicated. That’s why we want to make sure that both of you are being cared for. We can schedule any prenatal appointments. We will be happy to come with you to the medical appointments. Checking how the baby is developing every month is necessary. It’s even more crucial if you have any health problems that may be passed down. You might have past alcoholic or drug use, which can also affect the birth. Going to the doctor can help ensure safe delivery.

3. Adoption Counseling

We provide counseling for expectant mothers. Need help with your rollercoaster of emotions? Adoption Choices of Missouri has many professional counselors with many years of experience. You won’t be judged. Our adoption agency is a safe place. We have helped many mothers with their adoption. We are confident that we can give you the information you need and the support that comes with it. Remember that giving a baby up for adoption does not mean giving up on them. Rather you are giving them a chance to have a safe and healthy childhood with another family.

4. Keeping in Touch with Your Adoption Agency

For some people, getting enough food to feed themselves is hard. Being pregnant means eating for two people. That would definitely increase the portions. We can help get you groceries. We can also help with getting you a phone. You might need a phone to call and make appointments. Perhaps you need a phone to speak to relatives or your work. Please contact us so we can learn about your situation and find out what is necessary for you.

Giving Birth and Post-Placement

We have many adoption agencies in Missouri, such as in Wichita or Kansas City. If you want one of our adoption specialists to be there at the birth, it can be arranged. Your birth plan can have details such as who can be at the hospital. You can decide if you want a natural birth or if you want some time with your baby. Even after the birth, financial aid can be given for up to 6 weeks. We also provide counseling after birth too!
