With the help of First Coast Adoption Professionals, you won’t have to go through this critical time alone. Review some common questions birth mothers have about adoption. Then, make the decision if you’ll allow First Coast Adoption Professionals handle your adoption.

Common Questions

What is the cost of raising a child?
In 2017 various news outlets reported on a news release from the USDA that the average cost of raising a child from birth to age 17 is more that $230,000. That comes out to more than $12,000 every year. Money and financial planning should play a huge part in deciding to give your baby for adoption.

What if no one will support me during my pregnancy?
Whether or not you have help at home, you’ll have plenty of support here. Our birth mother services are tailored to give you the support you need before, during, and after adoption. You can view a preliminary list of adoption services to the right.

Can I choose who adopts my child?
First Coast Adoption Professionals works primarily with “semi-open” adoptions, allowing you to select the adoption family. You can learn more about this process to the right.

What is the adoption process?
We help birth mothers of all races, religions, ethnic origins, and backgrounds, and we’re comfortable with special needs adoptions. During your pregnancy, our consulting services work with you to help you make all big decisions, like choosing the adoptive family. All of our adoptive parents have gone through every step of our selection process, including but not limited to a background check and home study. Additionally, we help handle all prenatal care management and financial assistance.

What if I regret my decision?
Our dedicated professionals work with you before and after adoption to ensure you are making the best decision for the child. Additionally, you’re eligible for free counseling services for any issues, including working through your doubt. We strive to help you every way we can during this period of your life.

Empowering Birth Mothers with Supportive Care

The decision to give your baby for adoption can be one of the most challenging ones you face, but it’s not the only one. Birth mothers will also have to consider an adoption plan, find an adoptive family and take care of their health.

With the help of First Coast Adoption Professionals, you won’t have to go through this critical time alone. Our team will provide you with personalized care that offers you control throughout the process and helps you make the best, most loving decision for your child.

Tailored Adoption Services

We help birth mothers of all races, religions, ethnic origins and backgrounds, and we’re comfortable with special needs adoptions. Our compassionate team gives every birth mother the support she needs before, during and after an adoption. This may include:

  • Prenatal care management

  • Financial assistance

  • Pre- and post-adoption counseling

  • Access to community resources

  • Consulting services

Your Choice of Adoptive Parents

Our philosophy is to respect the voices and needs of birth mothers. That’s why most of our adoptions are “semi-open,” allowing you to be as actively involved in the process of selecting an adoptive family as you wish.

We’ll discuss the kind of family and lifestyle you envision for your baby, carefully find and screen prospective families for you, and then help you decide which family best suits your and your child’s needs.

Post-Adoption Counseling

Our job doesn’t end once the adoption takes place. When you let First Coast Adoption Professionals handle your adoption, you’ll be eligible for free counseling for any issues. It’s just one more way we strive to help you during this period of your life.
