After the Adoption Placement ...

Watching your child bond with their new adoptive family at the hospital will be reassuring to you. Yet, it is also the time of realization when you will separate yourself physically from this new life that you have nurtured over the last nine months. We will never tell you that it will be an easy transition. On the contrary, every mother finds her strength in her own way. We can offer you a full range of post-adoption counseling and support services so that your life can once again return to a sense of normalcy.

Many families continue to correspond after the birth of the babies. Cards and letters are exchanged and many couples forward videos so you can actually “see” how well the baby has adjusted. Your plan will be what you and the adoptive family wants it to be. Many women choose to have no contact, while others might want assurances for a period of time. The decision is yours.
