Adoption is a beautiful and life-giving option. Making an adoption plan is an incredible gift that a pregnant woman can offer to her child. There are many misconceptions surrounding the idea of adoption. It isn’t giving someone up, rather adoption is an act of entrustment made in a spirit of love that is generous and sacrificial. A woman who is considering entrusting the care of her child to another couple enters into a sacred time of discernment seeking to answer the question, "What is the most loving thing I can do for my child?" Discover the possibilities and consider if adoption is right for you.
