You are not locked into anything until you sign relinquishment documents, which cannot happen until at least 48 hours after your baby is here. That means you can decide to parent, even if you’ve chosen an adoptive family.

There is also no deadline for choosing an adoptive family. If you are still exploring parenting or unsure about adoption, we’ll hold off on the matching process. This gives you more time and space to weigh your options without pressure.
