YOU ARE UNEXPECTEDLY PREGNANT, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR BABY?

You probably have heard many stories about your right to choose what the best possible solution to a pregnancy is; you still need to know about the choice that you are going to make for your baby. Here we give you the facts about choices and the possible solutions for you.
When you find out that you are pregnant, everyone has advice for you. While most of it is meant well, sometimes it is uninformed. Much of it is said through emotion and not really meant. Some is said to manipulate you into doing what is best for other members of the family, not necessarily what is best for you. Remember, for your family and your friends this may be a temporary issue; for you it is a long-term, life-long, and life-changing situation.

ADOPTION

Many women think that they could never carry a baby for nine months and then give the baby up for adoption; for another family to raise their baby. Adoptive couples have no other way to build a family except for the special and selfless sacrifice that a birth-mother and birth-father make in allowing them to adopt and care for their special child.
Adoptive couples licensed through ABC For Adoption Nfp. are carefully screened and prepared for the adoption process. They are more than willing to meet with and interact with the birth-parents. There are open and semi-open adoptions. These make it so that the birth-mother can have pictures and information on the baby; birth moms know how that baby is progressing and about it's development and growth. There is great peace of mind knowing that your child is growing up in a loving home and that all of his or her needs are being met.
Adoptive couples have a strong desire to parent a child that they can call their own. They have had to meet rigorous standards that are set forth by the state; they are ready and able to emotionally, lovingly, and financially care for your baby through adulthood.

ADOPTION BECAUSE WE CARE

If you choose adoption, you will be able to fulfill your goals for life while knowing that your baby is being cared for and loved. This decision is yours and probably the most serious choice of your life. Take your time and do what you think is right without letting others rush you into any decision.
Currently there are 500,000 couples waiting and hoping for a child to adopt, and ABC For Adoption's placement rate is 98%, so rest assured that your baby will find a loving home.

We are easy to talk to and will explain and answer all questions that you might have. We can help with your expenses and prepare you for the adoption experience. Everything is strictly confidential. ABC For Adoption is an Illinois-based adoption agency. Our staff has been helping birth-parents find loving, stable licensed couples to adopt their babies since 1994.

We are a private agency with no support from the State, Government or any Religious group. ABC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. They are a diverse group of individuals who maintain a primary focus of the needs of children placed through ABC, without regard to race, religion or special medical or psychological needs. ABC is not an "adoptive-parent agency" or a "birth-parent agency," ABC is licensed as a "Child Welfare Agency ." This means that, above all else, ABC's paramount concern is protecting and providing for children placed in its care. Everything that ABC For Adoption does is ultimately focused on meeting the needs of children through adoption. In all of our domestic adoption programs we support birth parents in finding responsible loving homes for their children. ABC For Adoption exhibits a tremendous amount of appreciation and respect for birth parents who, for personal reasons, put their child's best interest first and choose adoption for their child. We have had the privilege of working with birth parents that chose adoption for their child. It was clear in their minds that adoption was the best course of action and a responsible decision. We recognize that the decision to place a child for adoption is not a happy decision for a birth parent. We have never seen a birth parent that was glad to place his or her child for adoption. We have an excellent staff who are prepared to assist birthparents in making the best decisions not only for themselves, but more importantly, for the welfare of the child.

Our well-trained staff deals with grief, guilt and anguish that often accompany the giving up of a child for adoption. We work with birthparents to make sure they are well and able to care for their needs, before as well as after the birth of the child.

We will guide you through the application and adoption processes. You can meet the adoptive couple if you so choose. We will provide you with update letters and pictures of your baby. We will inform you of your adoption options; closed, open, or semi-open adoptions. We can help you make the right choice for yourself, the birth-father, your family and your future.
