March 27, 2023
Unplanned pregnancy? There may be difficult choices ahead, and no easy solutions. Could adoption be an option? If you have questions, please fill out the form below or give us a call. Our purpose is to be the help you need.
Services For Birth Mothers
Services to you are FREE. We will manage, and take care of your pregnancy related expenses throughout your pregnancy,
and for up to six weeks after giving birth.
Our counselors have years of personal and professional experience offering guidance to individuals and couples experiencing unplanned pregnancy. At Forever Bound, we want you to be comfortable and to make the best decision for you. We’re here to help.
Counseling & Support
Our team of infant adoption professionals is dedicated to helping you understand all of the options available to you, and to helping you make the choice you believe is best for you.
Financial Support
Forever Bound Adoption will talk with you and assess your financial needs. You don’t need to worry about medical bills, hospital arrangements, or legal fees. Assistance with living expenses is also available.
Medical Care
Your pregnancy and delivery costs will be covered by medical insurance or Medicaid, if available. If not, the adoptive couple that you choose for your child will cover all medical expenses and hospital bills.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
There are several options available to you. While we are advocates of adoption, we are dedicated to helping you educate yourself about all of the options available, and to helping you make the choice you believe is best for you.
If you choose to place your child up for adoption, there are many things you can do to ensure you have a positive experience throughout the process. Our team of adoption professionals will help you access all of the information and resources you need to make informed decisions.
Regardless of your choice, we want you to receive the education, support, counseling, and resources you need. United for Adoption, a nationwide network of adoptive families, birth parents, and adoption professionals, is an excellent source of lifelong support.
We are here to help. Please call us at 801-821-1354, or if you prefer, send us a message, and we’ll contact you as soon as possible. All communication will be kept confidential.
Support and resources you need
EDUCATION AND COUNSELING
If you choose to place your baby for adoption, Forever Bound Adoption fosters an atmosphere where the rights of birth parents and adoptive parents are respected and supported. Forever Bound Adoption also carefully assesses and educates adoptive families to ensure their readiness to provide a stable, loving home. Additionally, your needs will be carefully evaluated, and support services and referrals will be provided to help meet your needs.
Some adoptive couples prefer to use an adoption attorney rather than local adoption agencies in order to minimize adoption expenses. Unfortunately, these couples lack support and are often less prepared to understand the adoption process, do not understand the importance of openness in adoption, have not been educated about how to make sure your needs are met and how to talk to their child about adoption. Carefully consider any family who is only willing to work with an attorney. At the very least, ask them to provide you with your own attorney and payment for counseling services.
Contact us if you want to talk through these or other questions that may arise. We want you to receive the education, support, counseling and resources that are necessary for a healthy adoption.
Common questions about adoption
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
1. If I make an appointment, will that commit me to an adoption plan?
No. We will answer your questions and discuss your options. We won’t move forward with anything until you decide what you want to do and are ready.
2. Are there any costs to me as a birth mother?
No, there are no costs to you as a birthmother.
3. Will my baby grow up hating me?
Adopted children grow up knowing they are doubly loved – by their biological and adoptive parents. This love is demonstrated by the sacrifices made by each parent in their lives. Adoptive parents are eager to share with their children your legacy of love, courage, and selflessness in choosing adoption.
4. I’m pregnant and I plan to place my baby, what is the first step?
Call us, 801-821-1354. Your call is confidential. We will answer your questions.
5. Can I meet with the people that adopt my baby?
You get to choose who you place your baby with. You will have the opportunity to meet with the adoptive couple if you choose to. If you choose open adoption you and the adoptive couple will be able to decide on the level of openness you want.
Considering Adoption?
Choosing adoption will likely be the hardest choice you ever make. And, you might waiver throughout your pregnancy. However, if you truly feel that it is the best option for your child, you will become part of a strong, supportive community.
