I turned to Adoption Resources at a particularly scary time in my life, the question of whether to give your child to another is never an easy one. Once I made the decision and spoke with my counselor I instantly felt better about my choice and never once did I regret it. I truly thank the agency and how they helped me through a difficult process with grace and ease. I hope other women facing this reality can be helped the way I was.

How does adoption work?
No. You cannot sign anything that commits you to adoption until after your child is born. In Massachusetts, where Adoption Resources is located, the soonest you can sign legal documents regarding an adoption plan is four days after the birth of the child. The time period varies from state to state, and we will let you know of the legal process in your state.
If you choose, we can arrange for transitional care. This can give you enough time to be certain of your decision.
We will work out a budget with you and, if necessary, help with medical, legal, and living expenses.

The experience of every birth parent is different
Month Two
I can’t believe that I’m pregnant. I never thought this would happen to me. I took a pregnancy test last night because I’ve missed my period the last couple of months, and when the red plus sign on the test showed up I screamed so loud.
Month Three
I didn’t realize I hadn’t written in almost a month. I finally went to the clinic earlier this week and the doctor did a bunch of testing. I am already 13 weeks pregnant! I am still barely showing so I was shocked that I’m that far along.
Month Four
I still haven’t called the adoption agency. I’m not sure what I want to do yet. Sometimes I think it’s all a dream and if I close my eyes and open them I won’t be pregnant anymore. Obviously that’s not going to happen. I feel so emotional.
Month Five
It’s been a while since I last wrote. I am obviously showing now and had to tell my parents. They were upset at first and sort of excited, too. This process has been really confusing. They reassured me that they want what is best for me.
Month Six
I’ve been working with Marty at Adoption Resources for a few weeks now. She’s great. I was really nervous meeting her the first time but as soon as we met, I started to feel better. She was calm and warm and answered all my questions.
Month Seven
A lot has happened in the last month. I texted Joe that I needed to talk to him on the phone and he kept asking me what I wanted to talk about. I almost wanted to text him that I’m pregnant but I didn’t think it was fair to do over text.
Month Eight
I met the family a couple of weeks ago and we really hit it off. They are very nice people who were not able to have a child themselves. I feel even better about giving the baby up for adoption because I know how much they want a child.
Month Nine
Since having the baby, I’ve been so busy with school and work that I haven’t had time to write. I gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl last week! Eight pounds! I let her adoptive parents name her and they stayed in the hospital.
Birth Parent Rights
