Birth Mother Matters in Adoption #46: What Can Make Adoption Seem Difficult From a Birth Mother's Perspective- Part One

(Disclosure: We can only speak on behalf of our adoption agency, Building Arizona Families, as state and agency law and policies may differ.)  We will be answering questions like:

1. “If I call an agency does that mean I am committed to doing an adoption?”
2. “Are there fees I have to pay?"
3. “What if I have other children?”
4. “Who picks the adoptive family for my baby?”
5. “Are these families background-checked?”
6. “When do I sign the final paperwork?”
7. “What if I have placed a child for adoption before?”
8. “Can I choose what type of adoption I would like and how much contact I want with the adoptive family?”
9. “Can the father of my baby be involved in the adoption process?”
10. “Will I be able to receive financial assistance with my living expenses during my pregnancy?”
