“I’ve really been struggling to make ends meet for the last year. I work long hours so I can make enough to pay for daycare. All my bills are past due and I’m going to get kicked out of my apartment soon.
 
This isn’t how I pictured life to be for my daughter. I want better for her than being shuffled to and from daycare, and barely seeing her.
 
It’s so hard to even think of adopting her out, it’s also hard to think of what could happen if I don’t. Is it too late to do adoption?”
 
It’s never too late to make an adoption plan for your child. Many women have parented before choosing adoption. You can manage the whole adoption planning process, including when you’re ready to start. Adoption is always a choice that you can make, no matter if your child is weeks, months, or years old. Women choosing adoption later on for their child have the same rights and choices as a pregnant woman making an adoption plan, including:

• Planning an adoption that fits your goals for your child’s future
• Selecting the perfect adoptive parents for your child
• Choosing how much contact you’d like to have with the adoptive family before and after the adoption
• Receiving the resources, support, and services you need.
• Remaining a part of your child’s life through open adoption visits, emails, photos, and updates
• Deciding when you’re ready to sign the adoption paperwork.

 
You can move through the adoption process at your own speed. We can refer you to an adoption professional called Lifetime Adoption who works nationwide. They’ve helped hundreds of women who chose adoption for their older child. Know that Lifetime won’t try to pressure you into a decision you’re not OK with.
 

There’s no deadline to do what’s best your child, and no “wrong time”
to start thinking about adoption.
