Can I choose who adopts my baby?
-
Can I have an open adoption?
-
Is financial help available during pregnancy?
-
What happens when I go to the hospital?
-
Can I consider adoption late in pregnancy?
-
What if my baby has already been born?

Most importantly, contacting us does not obligate you to choose adoption.
Adoption Services in Pflugerville for Expectant Parents
Every pregnancy situation is different. Some women begin researching adoption months before delivery, while others contact us shortly before their baby is born.

Therefore, our adoption services in Pflugerville are designed around your individual needs, wishes and timeline.
Free and Confidential Adoption Support
Adoption services are free for expectant parents working with Adoption Alliance.
You can contact us privately to ask questions about adoption, pregnancy-related assistance, medical care, adoptive families or what happens after delivery.

Choose the Family Who Adopts Your Baby

Adoption Alliance provides profiles of approved families who have completed the required screening and home-study process. Through these profiles, you can learn about their lives, values, families, interests and hopes for becoming parents.
When appropriate, you may also have opportunities to talk with or meet prospective adoptive parents before making your choice.

Decide What Type of Relationship You Want
You can also decide what type of relationship you would like with your child and the adoptive family after placement.

You do not need to make this decision before contacting us. Instead, our team can explain the options and help you think about what feels right for you.
