I Want to Give My Baby Away in California

All parents have doubts and concerns when it comes to raising their child.  Being a parent isn’t easy.

Adoption is emotionally complex, and many birth mothers have compared giving their baby away with the seven stages of grief that can come with a failed relationship or death. Those stages are:

  1. Denial

  2. Anger

  3. Shock

  4. Depression

  5. Fear

  6. Guilt

  7. Acceptance

Part of the full-range of services we provide tackles this head-on. We provide free, 24/7 adoption counseling for the complex emotions of choosing adoption.

We know the adoption journey doesn’t end after placement, that’s why our support is available to you even after placement is complete.

I Want to Give My Unborn Baby Away in California

When it comes to giving your baby away for adoption, there are a few general options.

Safe Haven and placing your child with Child Protective Services are some, but the options below will give you more control in the adoption process. Also, they allow you to reconnect with your child later in life.

Temporary Guardianship

Just because you want to give your baby away in California doesn’t mean you necessarily want to terminate your parental rights

Temporary guardianship allows you to keep those rights while temporarily giving your child to someone you trust. Whether that person is a family member or close friend, they’ll raise them for a set period of time.

Kinship Adoption

Although adoption may have crossed your mind, you may already have someone in mind for your baby.

Kinship adoption, where you choose to place your child with a family relative, is another option for when you want to give your baby away in California.

Although you can work with an agency for this type of adoption, you don’t have to. But if you don’t use an agency, then we can still coordinate legal services for you to give you more insight into the process.

  • Adoptive family video profiles to give more in-depth looks into the family you choose for your baby
