Missouri Adoption

Placing a Baby for Adoption in Missouri (MO)

We are all faced with important decisions in life. Considering adoption is one of those decisions. If you don’t feel ready to parent, for whatever reason, adoption is a valid and responsible option.

When you create an adoption plan with LifeLong Adoptions, you can:

  • ...explore adoption in a safe environment.
  • ...be in total control of your entire adoption process.
  • ...choose from hundreds of safe and loving families.
  • ...connect with an adoption professional in Missouri.
  • ...get financial assistance and counseling.
  • ...stay in contact with the family and your child.

Creating Your Missouri Adoption Plan

Our caring and compassionate adoption coordinators would be honored to help you. Our goal is for you to make the best choice for you and your child, whatever you ultimately choose. If you decide to create an adoption plan, the entire process will move at your comfort level. We’ll start by asking you some questions to learn about what you’re looking for in your adoption. Then, we’ll hand-pick a selection of families that fit your preferences. You can choose to communicate with as many as you’d like in order to find the perfect family for you. Once you’ve chosen a family, we’ll connect you with an adoption professional in Missouri, who will work with you to inform you of Missouri adoption laws and what sort of financial assistance and other support you’re qualified to receive as a potential birthmother.

We’ll continue to work with you, be there for you, and support you however we can as long as you’d like us to. Always remember, with us, there is no rush, pressure, or judgment, and you’re free to change your mind at any point up until the final adoption papers are signed.

Placing Your Baby For Adoption in Missouri is a Loving Decision

Raising a child is tough, even for the most prepared parents. It requires a lifelong commitment, adequate financial means, emotional stability, a safe environment, and much more. If you’re not ready to take on this responsibility, adoption is an option.

Choosing adoption for your child shows you have strong maternal feelings and love for them. It means you love them enough to be able to place their needs above your own. With adoption, you are making a conscious decision for your child’s future and actively choosing the kind of life they will have.

Here are some common reasons a woman might choose adoption for their child:

  • heart-icon

    She doesn’t feel ready to be a parent.

  • heart-icon

    Her living situation is not safe or stable.

  • heart-icon

    She feels too young or immature to care for a baby.

  • heart-icon

    The biological father is not involved and she does not want to be a single parent.

  • heart-icon

    She does not have the financial resources to raise a baby.

  • heart-icon

    She already has a child or children and cannot provide for another.
