Adoption Support FAQ
What does adoption look like?
We help you understand the opportunities of open adoption, and what that looks like as your child grows up. If you prefer a closed adoption or semi-open adoption we will ensure both birth parents and adoptive parents understand and support the plan in the best interests of the baby.
Can I receive financial support?
Birth mothers are not paid to place their baby for adoption, but in Florida, they may receive financial assistance during pregnancy and up to six weeks postpartum. This assistance covers reasonable living expenses, such as housing, utilities, food, and medical care, and is meant to support you during this time, not to incentivize adoption.
