Birth Mother Matters in Adoption 13: Grief & Loss in Adoption Adoptive Families

Birth Mother Matters in Adoption 13: Grief & Loss in Adoption Part 2 of 3: Adoptive Families Adoptive parents may experience grief and loss to some degree both before, during and after the adoption process. Understand that with adoption comes change; people deal with change in different ways; some easily acclimate to change, while others take time and may experience grief. Adding a a new family member can take time, effort, acceptance and sometimes outside assistance may be helpful. Change can be difficult and everyone deals with it differently. Resources for adoptive parents are more readily available now than 50 years ago. Learn about resources that are available to you. Not all adoptive parents adopt because they cannot biologically have children. However, for those individuals that cannot biologcally conceive have to let go of one dream to begin another. Letting go of a dream of bearing your own biological children is a loss. It is important to resolve issues surrounding the loss of this dream before starting an adoption plan. Remember, taking a different route in life isn’t always easy and may not have been your original plan or dream. Adoption most likely is not the road your child’s birth mother's first choice either.. Adoption shouldn’t be looked at as plan b, it should be viewed as journey to parenthood, a blessing. Life often reminds us that when one door closes another door opens. Thankfully, life affords us opportunities and adoption is an opportunity to become a mother or father. “We must be willing to let go of the life we had planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell

BirthMother Matters in Adoption Ep 2-179- Will Someone Want to Adopt My Baby If

BirthMother Matters in Adoption Ep 2-179- Will Someone Want to Adopt My Baby If

Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Season 2, Episode 179- Will Someone Want to Adopt My Baby If... When adoptive families come into our program, they fill out a preference sheet, very similar to a preference sheet that you, as a birth mother will fill out.  In the adoptive families’ preference sheet they will select if they will accept substance exposure and which substances, along with a range of questions.  The reason for a preference sheet is so we make sure an adoptive family is placed with a baby that they can handle should any issues arise If you are pregnant, regardless of the situation- we can help.  There are adoptive families that are wanting and willing to adopt your baby.  Your baby can have the life you want him or her to have.  So, if you are pregnant and are considering adoption, we are a licensed, full-service, non-profit Arizona Adoption Agency.  We believe in adoption aftercare services and have a program on site to provide continued support through the Donna K. Evans Foundation.  You can contact us 24/7 at (623) 695-4112.
