Adoption After Your Baby is Born

If you’re at the hospital with your baby and considering adoption, know that this is an option available to you anytime — right after birth or even later. Choosing adoption is a selfless decision, offering your child a future filled with love and opportunities.

If youre approaching your due date or have just given birth and feel overwhelmed by the decision to put your baby up for adoption, don’t worry.

If youre pregnant or have recently given birth and are contemplating adoption, it’s crucial to have all the necessary information to make the best choice for your baby. You can choose adoption at any stage—before, during or after your pregnancy.

If youve recently given birth in Indiana and are thinking about what’s next for you and your child, adoption is always an option.

Baby boxes offer birth mothers a way to safely and anonymously surrender their newborns at hospitals or designated community stations without facing legal penalties. These boxes have become increasingly common in recent years, especially throughout Indiana.
