An unplanned pregnancy can be an overwhelming situation for all involved. There are needs to be met, decisions to make, and processes to consider. Practical information, free counseling services, support, and referrals can help make the situation more manageable for birth mothers. The first step is to seek counseling services from a dedicated staff who will listen, answer questions, provide information regarding available options, and support mothers whether they decide to parent or put the baby up for Adoption in the Tulsa area. Counseling is free to anyone who is pregnant or has recently given birth.
Counseling can be provided at the main office or at the mothers’ homes, depending on the preference of the mother. Counseling services are also available to the father of the child, family members, and parents. If the choice has been made to parent a child, referrals to community services are made to provide for medical and physical needs of both mother and child.
Support and help preparing for emotional needs are offered so the mother knows what to expect and how to cope with parenting. It is important to have continuing services available for the success of both mother and child, and to keep adoption open as an avenue if the mother decides parenting is not what she wants. If Adoption is chosen, support for emotional needs is available and legal work for adoption is completed. If a mother decides to put a baby up for Adoption in Tulsa and has no appropriate living arrangements, a maternity home is available for the duration of the pregnancy.
Different agencies and organizations have varying policies and procedures for the adoption process. Some encourage relationships between birth mothers and adoptive parents and foster that nurturing and supportive environment. Birth mothers may receive pictures of the child or be part of the child’s life, depending on the situation and needs of both families. Other available services include foster care certification, independent living services for young females who have aged out of foster care, and clinical counseling for those impacted by foster care or adoption. Remember, there is compassionate and free help for those who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy.
