Placing A Child For Adoption

“Giving up a baby” or placing a child for adoption means that a responsible parent is making a loving decision for their child’s future, whether during pregnancy or after birth. It’s about ensuring that the child has access to the love, care, and stability that the bio-parent feels unable to provide on her own. Surrendering parental rights is never easy, but when done out of love for the child, it becomes one of the most courageous and selfless choices a parent can make. (And remember, there’s no such thing as an unwanted baby—there are loving adoptive families ready to welcome every child with open arms.)

Answers To Your Common Questions

What makes Abrazo the best agency choice for me?

Abrazo is an agency that advocates for openness because we know that children who are adopted need both roots and wings. The birthparents we work with are no where in life that we ourselves could not be; for this reason, our staff tends to be highly protective of the expectant parents with whom we work. We want all of Abrazo’s birthparents to feel at peace with the adoptions they do with us; free of judgement and fully informed, before, during and after placement.

What if I want my child to be adopted by someone of my own race?

We welcome expectant parents of all racial backgrounds, and respect your right to make your own best decisions for your child/ren’s future. If you want your child to grow up in a same-race home, just let us know and we’ll do our best to help you find an adoptive family of your own race.

What kind of financial help does your agency offer?

According to state law, Abrazo can assist with what’s called “maternity related expenses” during the pregnancy and up to eight (8) weeks afterwards. These vary depending on your needs and resources, but generally include such things as medical care, housing, transportation to/from appointments, clothing, food, childcare during labor & delivery, etc. These costs are paid by the agency and covered by the adopting family, so please be reasonably sure of your intentions before requesting financial help. While there’s nothing that has to be paid back if a prospective birthparent decides not to place, seeking maternity support if you know you won’t end up placing OR accepting financial assistance from more than one agency at a time may constitute fraud, a felony offense that is punishable by law.

Does my baby’s father have to sign papers giving consent for an adoption to occur?

Under the laws of Texas at the current time, an attorney would probably tell you that the only time a father’s signed consent is needed is if you are married at the time of placement or if the baby’s father has already gone to court to prove paternity of the child being placed. Call us and let’s get Abrazo’s attorney to explain, if you’re worried about the father’s rights, but the short answer is that mothers who feel adoption is best can usually make this choice without the father’s involvement (except in very specific circumstances.)
