Pregnancy brings additional financial burdens. In accordance with Ohio adoption laws, we offer financial assistance of up to $3,000 to help cover essential living expenses like rent, transportation, groceries, and utility bills. This assistance is available during pregnancy and up to 60 days after the baby is born. We can also assist with medical bills not covered by insurance.
All birth mother services provided by Open Arms Adoptions are free, from counseling and legal assistance to ongoing support services.
The process of starting the adoption process after your baby is already born is similar to any other type of adoption. You can carefully choose the right path for you and your child, and we’ll guide you through each step, ensuring you feel empowered throughout the adoption process.
The first step in your adoption journey is simple: call or text Open Arms Adoptions at 330-697-4751. This initial inquiry has no obligations attached; it’s just a chance to explore your options. Once you reach out, you’ll be assigned a compassionate and dedicated social worker who’ll give you continuous, personalized support in giving your baby up for adoption.
As a birth mother, you can choose the family that you feel will best meet your child's needs. This decision is entirely yours, and we’re here to support you in making it. We work with families who have undergone a careful screening process to ensure they can provide a loving and stable home for your child.
We believe in fostering open and honest communication between you and the chosen adoptive family. It can help build trust and understanding through the adoption process. Still, your comfort and wishes are our priority. You can determine the level of involvement and interaction with them that feels right for you.
After the birth of your child, there’s a mandatory 72-hour waiting period before you can sign the final paperwork. This time will let you make a fully informed and confident decision. For your peace of mind, we provide you with your own attorney to ensure that your rights as a birth mother are protected and all your questions are addressed.
Giving your baby up for adoption after birth opens the door to a new beginning for your child’s future. At Open Arms Adoptions, we're dedicated to providing the understanding and support you need during this challenging time. We know that every decision you make comes from a place of love
We recognize this journey can be uncertain, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you're ready to take the next step or simply want to talk, contact us today at 330-697-4751. Your story matters, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
