Can I Choose Adoption if I’m Homeless or Without Stable Housing?

Adoption is always an option regardless of your living situation. If you are currently homeless or living in unsafe conditions, the adoption counselors at A Gift of Hope Adoptions can help you find safe housing.

We want to ensure that every expectant mother or birth mother is healthy and safe. Contact us today online or call us at (888) 564-HOPE (4673) and let us help you.

What Will Adoption Cost Me?

Any reputable, licensed adoption specialist should offer their services at no cost to you. In fact, many assistance services are available to women pursuing adoption in Missouri.

In our state, you can receive the following:

  • Hospital, medical, or physician expenses incurred by you or the child.
  • Counseling services for a reasonable time before and after the adoption.
  • Pre-placement assessment expenses.
  • Reasonable legal expenses and court costs.
  • Reasonable living expenses, including food, shelter, utilities, transportation, and clothing.

Will I Know Who Adopts My Baby?

Not only will you know them, but you can also choose them if you would like. Today’s adoption process is very different from a few decades ago. Now, the expectant mother or birth mother makes all of the decisions.

We’ll talk with you about the life you want your baby to have. We have a few waiting couples available to view online, and we also have access to potential adoptive parents throughout the nation. We’re confident that we can find the right parents for your baby.

Will a Family Want to Adopt My Baby After Homelessness?

Regardless of your current living situation, many couples will welcome the opportunity to love and parent your baby. But the sooner you connect with A Gift of Hope Adoptions, the sooner we can help you secure safe housing, proper healthcare, and access to the living expenses you need.

Can I Have Contact With My Baby After the Adoption?

You have the freedom to choose the adoption plan that allows you the type of contact you wish to have. If you want to communicate with the family, you can choose between an open or semi-open adoption, depending on the level of privacy and contact you’d prefer.

We can talk more about adoption plans during your first meeting with an adoption specialist.

Our Commitment to You

More than anything, we want to help you find a safe place to live. We can refer you to many resources. There are several free or income-based services available in Missouri. You’ll find a list of the healthcare services here. Additionally, housing opportunities are available through the Missouri A2A program.

Choosing adoption is not an easy decision, but depending on your circumstances, it could be the best choice for you and your baby. Let A Gift of Hope Adoptions assist you.

Please contact us online or call (888) 564-HOPE (4673). We’re here to give you hope and help you plan for the future.

testimonials

Elizabeth and A Gift of Hope have been a touchstone during our adoption process. Having had issues with a previous agency – Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air! Reassuring, supportive and empathetic. We are so in love with our daughter and thank A Gift of Hope everyday for her!

AGOHA is a great agency that has provided amazing support and guidance though the adoption process. Would highly recommend AGOHA!

Our family has used their services for adoption. It’s wonderful dealing with someone who is looking out for the whole child, not just placing kids.

A Gift of Hope Adoptions is a Godsend for so many expectant young mothers. I completely recommend this organization for anyone interested in providing a wonderful life for their soon-to-be baby. This organization is also a Godsend for those of us who cannot have our own biological children.

I have recommended A Gift of Hope Adoptions to several mother’s considering adoptions for their babies. They have been so happy to feel supported and empowered through their decision.

“We adopted both of our sons through A Gift of Hope Adoptions. They helped us every step of the way and answered all the questions we had, and we had a lot! We would not be where we are today, with two busy boys in our family, if it wasn’t for A Gift of Hope.”

“We decided to use A Gift of Hope Adoptions because they are very personal and caring. The wait and uncertainty of adoption seemed daunting, but A Gift of Hope helped make the process go smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier with our beautiful child.”
