Heart to Heart Adoptions | Nationwide Adoption Agency

Does adoption cost money?

Adoption is free for birth mothers. Medical care, legal services, and counseling are typically covered as part of the process. Adoptive families have their own costs, and our team helps guide everyone so expectations are clear from the beginning.

What kind of support may be available during pregnancy?

Support may be available for pregnancy-related needs such as medical care, counseling, and certain living expenses. This can include help with things like housing, transportation, or groceries, depending on your situation. All support is provided in accordance with state laws and is never intended to influence your decision.

How are adoptive families chosen?

Birth mothers can review family profiles, talk with families, and choose what feels right. Some prefer to take their time, while others want guidance—we support both. Adoptive families are carefully screened, and the process is always centered around your comfort level.

What if someone changes their mind?

Birth mothers have the right to change their mind at any point before legal consent is signed after birth. We make sure you understand your rights clearly so you can make a decision with confidence. Our role is to support you, not pressure you.

Will there be support after placement?

Yes. Ongoing support may be available after placement, including counseling and continued communication if desired. Adoption is not a one-time moment—support can continue as you adjust and move forward.

What is open adoption?

Open adoption allows for ongoing contact between birth parents, adoptive families, and the child. This can include photos, updates, or visits depending on what everyone agrees to. The level of openness is flexible and built around what feels comfortable for you.
