Birth Parent Services

Dear Birth Parent,

This is a time when you are facing important decisions about whether to parent your child or not. We at A Family in Bloom Adoption do not presume to know what is best for you or want to pressure you into something that is not in your heart. If adoption is something you are considering, we are available to meet with you to talk through the different options, and help you decide what is truly right at this point in your life. This counseling is provided at no cost, in a location that is comfortable for you.

If you decide that adoption is the right thing for you and your child, we can match you with an adoptive family. Today you can make choices from the beginning about who should adopt your child and what kind of relationship you might want with your designated adoptive family.

There appears to be a genuine lack of resources and literature for birth parents. If it is helpful for you to learn more about adoption from those who have placed a child themselves, please see the list of resources below.

If you would like to talk with someone at A Family in Bloom Adoption, you can reach us at (303) 516-9827 or, by emailing afamilyinbloomadoption@gmail.com. Best wishes on your path, wherever it takes you.

Blessings,

A Family in Bloom Adoption
