Most birth parents are between the ages of 15 and 40. Our birth parents are faced with the most difficult decision they will ever make in their
lives simply because they are unable to parent a child at that time. The reasons vary, but the
most common link among birth parents is that they are making the most unselfish decision
of their lives, wanting the very best for their child.
It’s important to recognize that no matter what your final plan is for you and your baby, it will take
time for you to adapt your life. You will have experienced many different thoughts and feelings
concerning what to do. Perhaps the most difficult of
all will be allowing yourself to be uncertain for awhile. But within a few weeks after delivery, your
direction will become clear and you will finalize your plans. Whatever the outcome, your life will
never be the same. It is our hope that through all the pain and uncertainty, you will have learned
you can count on someone to be there for you, to help you do what needs to be done and to
make it through life believing in yourself.
