Beyond Circumstance: Building a New Life After Adoption

By Gabrielle Hornung

Facing homelessness during an unplanned pregnancy is overwhelming. The daily struggle for shelter, food, and stability can make the future feel uncertain. For women experiencing these hardships, the thought of raising a child in such conditions can feel impossible. 

Choosing adoption can provide a safe and loving home for your child, while also giving you the chance to focus on rebuilding your own life. At Adoption Choices of Kansas, we walk with you before, during, and after the adoption journey. We are offering support, resources, and compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Challenges of Homelessness and Pregnancy During Adoption

Pregnancy can already bring emotional and physical challenges. When combined with homelessness, these difficulties become even more prominent. Finding meals, rest, and medical care consistently is tough when living without stable housing. Stress from these struggles can weigh heavily on your mind and body which can make everything more difficult. It’s important to remember that your situation does not define your strength or your worth as a mother. Adoption can be a way to ensure your child’s safety while you work toward stability for yourself.

How Adoption Choices of Kansas Supports Birth Mothers

At Adoption Choices of Kansas, we understand the struggles that come with an unplanned pregnancy. Our adoption agency offers different options for birth mothers to support them. This includes counseling, housing assistance, and financial help to support you throughout your pregnancy. We also provide medical care resources and transportation when needed. From the moment you reach out, our team will listen to your story and help you explore your unplanned pregnancy options. You do not have to do this journey alone, we can help. 

Adoption is a Loving and Courageous Choice

Choosing adoption does not mean “giving up.” It means making a brave decision to provide your child with opportunities that may not be possible right now. When you place your baby up for adoption, you are creating a future full of hope for both you and your child. You want the best for yourself and your child and we at Adoption Choices of Kansas are able to help. Adoption is an act of love that allows you to give your child stability while you work on building a stronger foundation for yourself.

Types of Adoption Available in Kansas

There are different types of adoption in Kansas and it is important to know your options. Open adoption allows you to maintain contact with your child and their adoptive family. Semi-open adoption offers updates through letters or pictures, while closed adoption keeps identities private. You get to choose the level of openness that works best for you. This way you can set boundaries best for yourself and what makes you comfortable. Every adoption plan is going to look different, and we will help you create one that matches your needs and comfort.

Steps in the Adoption Process

The adoption process may seem intimidating, but our team makes it clear and supportive. First, you meet with an adoption specialist who listens to your story. Next, you create an adoption plan that fits your needs and wishes during this time. You then choose the type of adoption and the adoptive family. We guide you through your hospital plan, helping you feel supported during delivery. After placement, we ensure you continue receiving emotional and practical support. If you are considering adoption, we will help you each step of the way so you are never alone and always have our help.
