Birth Parents
Our goal at The Adoption Centre is to respond to you, and to your needs and choices. We provide caring, confidential support to help you understand all your options, as a parent or parent-to-be. Our trained staff will help guide you until you finally make your choice and then help counsel you afterwards if you have chosen to place your child.
There are no costs associated with our birth parent services.
For those of you who pursue adoption planning, we will:
- Ensure your rights and the rights of your child are fully protected. We want birth parents to continue to feel a sense of control, and choice, as the adoption process occurs.
- Ensure that your child will be going to a nurturing and permanent home through our adoptive parent home study process. We feel that it is essential to provide you with profiles of prospective families who will honour your child's cultural, racial, and linguistic heritage, and who support your religious beliefs.
- Negotiate openness agreements with the adoptive parents, so your child can be made aware of his/her birth history.
- Help you through the process with counselling and support, so you fully understand the process before it begins, and what the impact of your decision will be when it is complete.
