Discovering an unexpected pregnancy can bring many questions, especially if you are considering adoption. You may wonder where to start. You may also have questions about your options and available support.

If you are in Georgia, learning about adoption agencies in Georgia can help you understand the process. You can also learn about your next steps.

Here are a few common questions to consider when choosing an adoption agency.

What Can an Adoption Agency Help Me With?

A licensed adoption agency can provide a safe space to talk with an adoption professional. You can discuss your needs and wishes. If you choose adoption, the agency can help you make a plan for your baby based on your preferences.

At Full Circle Adoptions, birth mothers are assigned an adoption social worker. The social worker will listen to you and explain the adoption process. This may include discussing the type of adoptive family you want for your baby. You can also discuss your hospital and birth preferences and the type of contact you may want after birth.

Can I Choose the Adoptive Family?

Yes. An adoption plan allows birth mothers to participate in choosing an adoptive family. You can look at adoptive family profiles on the website and learn about families who hope to adopt.

You may also have the opportunity to communicate with a prospective adoptive family before making your choice.

What Types of Adoption Are There?

Birth mothers can learn about open, semi-open, and closed adoption.

• With an open adoption, you can stay in contact with the adoptive family. This could include photos, letters, calls, or visits.
• A semi-open adoption may include updates or some communication while maintaining certain boundaries.
• A closed adoption usually means little or no direct contact.

Our adoption social workers can explain these choices and what may apply to your situation.

Can I Get Help During My Pregnancy?

Yes. Our agency offers help to birth mothers during pregnancy and up to six weeks post-adoption. Depending on your situation and what Georgia law allows, help may include counseling, medical care, transportation, food, housing, or other support.

Do I Have to Choose Adoption Now?
