Creating Your Vermont 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 Vermont, who will work with you to inform you of Vermont 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 Vermont 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:

She doesn’t feel ready to be a parent.
Her living situation is not safe or stable.
She feels too young or immature to care for a baby.
The biological father is not involved and she does not want to be a single parent.
She does not have the financial resources to raise a baby.
She already has a child or children and cannot provide for another.
