What are the advantages of planning an independent adoption?
• You decide who will raise your child. • You can receive adoption-related counseling from a therapist of your choice. • You will have your own attorney to protect your interests. • You may be eligible for help with medical and pregnancy-related living expenses. • You can take comfort by knowing in advance about the adoptive family and the home that will welcome your baby. • You can have a legally enforceable Adoption Agreement which is approved by the court that grants the adoption.
