Placing a Baby for Adoption Is Not “Giving Up” – It’s About “Giving More”

When a woman chooses private adoption, she is often faced with the hurtful phrase “giving up” her baby. At A Gift of Hope Adoptions, we know that placing a baby for adoption is not about giving up—it’s about giving more. It is a loving, thoughtful decision that places the child’s needs at the center while honoring the strength and courage of the birth mother.

For women facing an unplanned pregnancy, adoption provides an opportunity to give more—more stability, more security, more hope for the future. Private adoption allows a birth mother to make choices about her baby’s life, including selecting the adoptive family, deciding on open or semi-open contact, and creating a plan that respects her wishes. This is not surrender—it is empowerment.

Referral partners—pregnancy centers, maternity homes, hospitals, and OB/GYN clinics—play a vital role in offering adoption as a compassionate option. Many women simply don’t know that private adoption is different from foster care and that they can remain part of their child’s story in meaningful ways. By connecting women with A Gift of Hope Adoptions, you provide them with experienced, supportive guidance and caring professionals who walk with them every step of the way.

Every adoption story begins with a brave decision made out of love. At A Gift of Hope Adoptions, we believe that choosing adoption is one of the most selfless gifts a mother can give—both to her child and to the family who longs to love them.

If you are an expectant mom considering adoption, or a professional walking alongside her, know this: adoption is not about giving up—it’s about giving more.
