When facing an unplanned pregnancy, many women want to gather information about their choices from trained counselors. If you approach adoption professionals, you want to make sure that you will be encouraged to consider adoption as just one of your options. In order to create a particularly safe space for women to consider all their choices, Full Circle has established a separate office for Birthparents. The Birthparents Center has a separate library, facilities and a counselor dedicated to serving birthparents' needs.
The Birthparents' Center counselor can provide neutral information about all options, including parenting and adoption. If you are interested in pursuing adoption, the Birthparents' Center counselor can share profiles of families and help you interview them by phone or in person if you'd like. The family can travel to your state or the agency can make travel arrangements for your to meet them at the agency. We can explain the process of adoption and what you can expect at each step of that path.
The Agency can further help with housing, counseling or information advising, transportation, referral to and payment for medical services (by insurance or otherwise). The agency knows that if you have other children, you may need help with child care as well.
If you are considering parenting, we can review your options for child care, combining work with care for your child, organizing your finances and anticipating your and your child's needs.
