Adoption
Adoption - You Have Options
You’re not alone.
Finding out you’re pregnant—especially if it’s unexpected—can feel overwhelming, emotional, and even scary. It’s okay to have questions. It’s okay to feel unsure.
At Obria, we are here to support you without pressure or judgment. Our goal is to walk alongside you, provide clear information, and help you explore your options with confidence and care.
What Is Adoption
Adoption is a loving and intentional choice where a birth parent creates a plan for their child to be raised by another family. It allows you to make decisions about your child’s future while continuing to receive support throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
Adoption today looks very different than it once did. You can have a voice in the process—choosing the family, the level of contact, and the type of relationship you want moving forward.
What Does Adoption Look Like Today?
There are different types of adoption plans, and you have the ability to choose what feels right for you:
- Open Adoption: You can have ongoing communication and a relationship with the adoptive family.
- Semi-Open Adoption: Communication is shared in a more structured or mediated way.
- Closed Adoption: No identifying information is shared, and there is no ongoing contact.
No matter what you choose, you are not alone. Our team can help guide you through each step with care and support.
