Considering adoption is a difficult choice and something to be carefully considered. When women are facing an unplanned pregnancy, they may need to talk through their options with somebody in order to get a good idea of what feels right for them. Women considering adoption often are wrestling with questions such as how do I put a baby up for adoption? How do I find a good family for my baby? Can I have an open adoption and see my baby again? What are the next steps?
In considering one’s options, it is important to get accurate and current information. This can be accomplished by talking to licensed professionals with experience in the field of adoption. A licensed professional can give expectant parents a clear idea of what making an adoption plan could look like in their specific situation, and can also help connect expectant parents with the right adoptive family for their baby. Expectant parents can choose the family they want for their baby.
In making an adoption plan, birth parents should be empowered to make the decisions they feel are best for their baby. When working with professional and licensed adoption agencies who engage in ethical adoption practices, birth parents are supported and never pressured as they move through the process. Licensed adoption agencies will help parents understand their rights and also foster positive and long term relationships with adoptive families. This is called open adoption, and can be a beautiful and helpful relationship for birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees for the rest of their lives.
Wyoming has specific rules about how a parent can give a child up for adoption. In Wyoming, birth parents can give consent for an adoption anytime after a child is born. This may be done at the hospital or after discharge, but should not be done before a parent is ready to complete the required paperwork. Once consent is given for an adoption in Wyoming, it is considered irrevocable. The process can be intimidating but when working with a local adoption agency such as Adoption Life, parents will be supported throughout the entire process.
It is critical that for children who are born in the State of Wyoming, professionals follow Wyoming laws and rules related to any adoption. Some unethical parties who present themselves as professionals but are not licensed to practice in the State of Wyoming, may present alternative options for placement that avoid Wyoming laws. Working with experienced, local professionals helps to ensure everybody participating in an adoption is well taken care of and supported during and after the process.
