If you’re in your third trimester and thinking about adoption you may be feeling overwhelmed, emotional, or unsure of where to start. At Gift of Life Adoptions, we want you to know that it’s never too late to consider adoption, and you don’t have to make this decision alone. We’re here to provide support, guidance, and a judgment-free space to help you explore your options.
Is It Too Late to Choose Adoption?
Absolutely not. Many expectant parents wait until their third trimester—or even after birth—to begin the adoption process. Whether you’ve just started thinking about adoption or have been considering it for a while, you still have plenty of options.
How Does the Adoption Process Work in the Third Trimester?
Even if your due date is approaching, we can move at your pace and create a plan that fits your needs. Here’s how the process typically works:
1. Reach Out for Support
You can contact us anytime—day or night—to talk through your thoughts and feelings about adoption. We’ll provide information and answer your questions without pressure or expectations.
2. Create Your Adoption Plan
You are in full control of your adoption plan and can decide.
• The type of adoption you want (open, semi-open, or closed)
• The family you want to raise your child
• How much contact you’d like to have after placement
3. Choose an Adoptive Family
We have pre-screened; loving families ready to adopt. You can review their profiles and even meet them (if you’d like) to ensure they align with your wishes for your child’s future.
4. Make a Hospital Plan
We will help you create a birth and hospital plan that makes you feel comfortable and respected.
- You can decide who will be with you during labor and delivery
- Whether you want time alone with your baby
- How and when placement will take place
5. Receive Post-Placement Support
Adoption is an emotional journey, and your feelings matter. We offer counseling, support groups, and resources to help you process your emotions and navigate life after adoption.
Adoption Is a Loving and Selfless Choice
Choosing adoption is not “giving up”—it is a deeply thoughtful and loving decision. You are making a choice that prioritizes your child’s future while ensuring they are placed in a stable, loving home.
