Yes, you can still choose adoption at the hospital or any time after you’ve delivered. Although things will move faster, you will still have the same rights and ability to make choices that an expectant mother does. An adoption specialist will visit you to answer your questions, help you complete paperwork, share waiting family profiles and discuss a post-placement plan. You will receive counseling and support after relinquishment as well, for as long as you choose.
The adoption process can move quickly after a baby is born, and you may feel like you need more time to make a decision. Signing the relinquishment papers is permanent, so you need to be certain this is the right step for you. If you need more time, we can discuss options for after your baby is released from the hospital.
