Why place your baby for adoption?

You get to choose the adoptive couple

Extended Family

Best of both worlds

You can finish your school / travel / work / dreams

Visits, photos, emails, gifts

It is the most unselfish thing

There are some amazing couples out there that have so much love to give who can't have children

You can enjoy being young

You're the boss until you sign consent

No pressure on you with money / food / needs

You and the adoptive couple can work out a name for baby together

10 day placement with carer works really well

Can be a lot of hard work just like anything but you will see the rewards!!!
