The Best Thing - I found out 2 days before I delivered my daughter that I was having a baby. I had my daughter and I had to think about the right thing to do for her. It took me a couple of days, but then I decided that adoption was the best thing to do. Why? Because I was not ready for her and her dad had medical problems. The family that adopted her left her name what I had names her. We are in contact and I pictures as part of our open adoption. Open adoption is a great way to watch them grow up. ~ Requests to remain anonymous
A Catholic Identity - We decided to place our little girl for adoption through Catholic Charities because for one thing we’re Catholic. We got married in the Catholic Church and they really seemed to be very nice and cooperative with us and understanding. We’ve really enjoyed all the support they’ve given us and the couple that adopted our little girl. ~ Mike and Jodi
An adoptee, a birthmother, and an adoptive parent - Two months ago, I become an adoptive parent and also completed the triad of adoption. As an adoptee, a birthmother, and an adoptive parent, I have experiences adoption from all sides. When I was 18, I experienced an unplanned pregnancy. After considering my options, my family and I decided adoption would allow me to continue my education and my birth daughter would grow up with a family who was in a better place financially. Although it was a heart breaking decision at the time, I have not regretted it, as it allowed me to continue my education and my birth daughter and I would not struggle to make ends meet. All experiences with adoption, I hope will allow me to be able to give my adopted son some insight on his journey. ~ Requests to remain anonymous
Completely Supported - My parents brought me to Catholic Charities to help me to explore my options. I was only 14 and the biological father was in jail for statutory rape. He was 20. They showed me a video which featured happy adoptive families. I was sold instantly. I knew that I could not provide the quality of like that an adult married couple could. I felt completely supported by Catholic Charities, 100% accepted and loved. Now I continue to appreciate the role Catholic Charities plays as the intermediary between families. It was important to maintain confidentiality because we feared that my daughter’s biological father might try to find her. I enjoy letters and updates from the adoptive parents while maintaining a closed adoption. I am hoping that someday her adoptive parents will give us their blessing to have a relationship once she is an adult. ~ Request to remain anonymous
