I Gave My Baby Up for Adoption in Denver, Now What?

By Jonathan Tick

The first thing you should do is congratulate yourself on what you’ve accomplished. Giving a baby up adoption is no easy feat, and you deserve a deep breath. Maybe a cup of tea to relax after all you’ve been through. But after you’ve finished your pot, what’s next? Some Colorado birth mothers don’t know what to do after successfully giving up their baby. And may need help in deciding what they should do next.  

Below are a few things you can look forward to or pursue now that you’re done with the adoption process.

Adoption Post-Placement 

Birth mothers are usually offered the chance to go into a post-placement period after the baby has been born. We see this as an important part of a birth mother’s adoption plan as it provides birth mothers a moment of rest and recovery after the stress from birth and adoption is over.  

During post-placement, the birth mother is offered several options for additional care and counseling. This can include other various kinds of therapy that can help birth mothers cope with any lingering grief they may have. Such as family therapy or individual therapy for the mother depending on the birth mother’s situation. Other different forms of aid can also be provided. Financial costs for food and rent until the mother recovers can be covered by your local Denver adoption agency or throughout Colorado during post-placement. Adoption Choices of Colorado allows birth mothers to remain under their care until they fully recover from their adoption journey. As we believe that they deserve care until they believe they’re ready to finish their adoption journey. Since this is the best way, we think birth mothers can leave our adoption centers happy with their accomplishments.

Choosing an Open Adoption in Denver

During your adoption plan, you might’ve been asked the question of what kind of adoption you want. Your adoption specialist should have given you several options on what to go choose, specifically on how open you want your adoption to be. Open adoption allows birth parents to stay in contact with their baby, which is different from what the stigma around adoption says about children and their birth parents.  

By choosing open adoption, you are given a whole range of additional options as the birth parent. The first of which is being able to contact your child’s adoptive parents. Which stays your right as the birth parent even after you’ve given your baby up for adoption. You can exchange letters and gifts through your local adoption agency in Colorado. And in return, you can receive photos and messages from your child that let you know how they’re doing.  

Choosing open adoption can give a way to spend time with your child after adoption. In addition to giving your child a way to connect to their birth parents. Since it alleviates any potential problems that can come after your child learns that they were adopted. Such as struggling to understand why they were adopted in the first place.  

Reflection After Giving Baby Up for Adoption

When all is said and done, taking a step back and reflecting on your adoption journey can be good for looking ahead. A Denver adoption can take a lot out of birth mothers. And you may forget what was happening before you stepped into Adoption Choices of Colorado to begin your adoption process.  

Many birth mothers come out of the experience feeling relieved or proud of themselves. Ready to take on the world with newfound confidence now that their baby is ready for a bright, happy future. And from that, they may be able to pursue other things that they left behind before the adoption. Or pick up things from where they left off, whether in a career or other parts of life. Some birth mothers may even want to start families later on in their lives after adoption. Either because they decided they were finally ready to care for a child or for other possible personal reasons.

Whichever route you take should be decided by the one that brings you the most sense of fulfillment. Adoption Choices of Colorado believes that all birth mothers deserve their chance at happiness.
