If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, you may have a lot of questions about the adoption process. At A Baby Step Adoption, we believe that adoption doesn’t mean you’re “giving your baby up,” but you’re making a selfless choice for you and your baby’s futures.
Some birth mothers don’t consider adoption because the process seems confusing, but there are steps you can take to make the adoption process in New Jersey easy.
If you’re considering adoption in New Jersey, you can reach out to an adoption agency to learn more about the process. You’re not limited to agencies in New Jersey, but it can help to have a local agency that you can meet in person. Once you choose an agency, they can help you learn about your options and create an adoption plan. Your adoption plan will help you think about your birth plan, choose the adopting family, and pick an open or closed adoption. Even if you’re unsure about adoption, you can change your mind at any point in the process.
