Lately bloggers have expressed concern for the pregnant women making the decision to place her baby for adoption. First, it should be stressed that pregnancy counselors should provide non-directive counseling to the women they assist. Typically, a pregnant woman will contact an agency while considering her options. The agency's pregnancy counselor will present her with information about the adoption process. In addition, she will counsel her and discuss issues including feelings of loss. Fully informed decision making is essential for all parties to an adoption.
The woman choosing adoption typically does so after careful consideration of her options and out of concern for her baby. Her decision is often made because she thinks adoption is in the child's best interest. She deserves respect for her courage and the support of the people around her.
Do you have any any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss? Please feel free to blog me. In the alternative, you may contact one of Adoption House International's adoption counselors at 877-921-1102.
