Catholic Charities Adoption & Foster Care Considering Adoption for Your Baby "I’m pregnant. What am I going to do?”  If you are facing an unexpected pregnancy, there are many difficult decisions ahead that will not only affect you as the baby’s mother, but also your family, friends, the baby’s father and ultimately the child. Though this may be a scary time of uncertainty and confusion, rushing into a decision without careful thought can only cause more heartache. You owe it to yourself and your baby to consider all the options in order to decide what is best for everyone involved. Catholic Charities has counselors who are able to support you during this difficult time and guide you in gaining more information about the various options available to you. The counseling sessions, which are provided at no cost and are confidential, enable the birth family to discuss their individual situation with a qualified, caring counselor.

Adoption is not an easy way out of a crisis pregnancy. Though a mother has decided that adoption is the best plan for her and her baby, there is still pain involved in saying good-bye to a child. Unselfish love for her child enables a birthmother to give the child those things that she cannot provide herself. Adoption is a gift of love.

You are able to make your adoption plan fit your needs and desires for your child.
