Please understand that these blog posts are written to use language that people commonly use when searching for help with their adoption plans.  Unfortunately, while many of us are familiar with positive adoption language, most expectant moms that come to us at first do not understand what that means.  The most common search term on the internet for expectant moms is “how do I give up my baby for adoption.”  If we do not include those words in our blog posts, and instead put “how do I create an adoption plan for my baby” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ Google search results.

Is Adoption Still an Option for Me? An Expectant Mom with a History of Tobacco Use

 

Current usage, or a history of Tobacco use is one of the many reasons an expectant mom may question whether or not adoption is an option for her. When creating an adoption plan, because you would like to consider giving up your baby for adoption, it is important to remember that adoption is always an option, regardless of the usage of tobacco due to the multitude of families who are looking to expand their families through adoption and are willing to take a child into their home regardless of medical issues.

What is considered tobacco use?

  • Vaping
  • Smoke inhalation from cigarettes, pipes, and cigars
  • Sniffing, Sucking, or Chewing Tobacco

Using tobacco in any variety can cause potential harm to an unborn child. This harm could be preterm birth, low birth weight, tissue damage, particularly in the lung and brain, and birth defects of mouth and lip.
