Your Adoption Choices

There are choices available to a pregnant teen or woman considering adoption. She is encouraged to play an active role in making an adoption plan that reflects her wishes and needs.

Three basic choices:

Confidential (a/k/a Closed) Adoption
• No information shared between the birth and adoptive parents
• Parties do not meet in person
• No relationship established between the parties

Semi Open Adoption: Limited Contact
• Parties exchange only non-identifying information (such as first names and the state/region in which they reside)
• Parties often communicate through the adoption agency
• Birth parents may play an active role in selecting an adoptive family and receive pictures and letter updates through the agency
• Parties may stay connected through the internet in a non-identifying manner (e.g., creating a dedicated website with picture and video uploads of child milestones for birth parent viewing)

Open Adoption: Ongoing Personal Contact
• Parties exchange identifying information (e.g., names, addresses, and phone numbers)
• The parties will determine the nature and extent of contact and this is often communicated and managed directly

• Contact Alliance for Children to make your Personalized Adoption Plan
• Work with us and choose from pre-approved, loving adoptive families
• Allow us to assist you in making a Hospital Plan that meets your needs and wishes

It is our hope that by staying actively involved you will gain more confidence and peace of mind in your decision making.
