Getting Started

As you consider your unplanned pregnancy options, especially adoption, you may come across the common use of the phrase “give up for adoption.” This phrase has become popular through media, movies, television, podcasts, and is now practically synonymous with adoption. When choosing adoption for your baby, you are not “giving them up.” You are giving them the opportunity to have the best life possible, full of opportunity and happiness. It means you are making a selfless decision to put your baby’s needs before your own. In other words, it means that you are a great mom. If you are ready to choose adoption for your child, we will help you create an individualized adoption plan that is right for you…

Tennessee law requires monthly post placement supervision visits for a minimum of 90 days and this is usually done by the individual or entity that conducted your home study.
