More ways to celebrate National Adoption Month in Oklahoma
By: Manuel Serritos
Adoption is a process that can bring love to all those involved. From birth mothers to adoptive families, adoption can help out in many different ways. With the month of November almost over, so is National Adoption Month. This was a month to celebrate all the good adoption can do for all those involved in the process. In honor of this month, Adoption Choices of Oklahoma thanks all those who have had a role in adoptions.
Ways to Support Oklahoma Adoption
For as simple as it may seem, word of mouth is a prime way to begin to celebrate this month. Many people may not be aware that November is National Adoption Month. Because of this, word of mouth can help with spreading awareness about the month. Letting other people in your life know about this month can help spread knowledge about adoption. Once more people become more aware of adoption, it can become easier for people to know the benefits adoption brings. Word of mouth is a powerful tool that can help create many opportunities that were not there prior.
Another way to go about supporting adoption is by learning about the adoption process and all of its different steps. Learning about the beginning steps to take when considering adoption can help in knowing how beneficial it can be. When first considering adoption, one might search for “how to put a child up for adoption.” Searching this might bring up many results and different adoption agencies to choose from.

Why Should I Support Adoption?
When choosing private adoption with Adoption Choices of Oklahoma, you will soon realize your choices are the heart of adoption. Other adoption agencies may provide you with some options for pregnant mother adoption, but we make your choices matter most. Having the ability to decide what happens during the adoption process can help give a birth mother peace of mind. Giving up a baby for adoption is not an easy decision, but having choices can help greatly with this.
One area where your choices are made especially prominent is with creating an adoption plan. Creating an adoption plan gives you control over the type of relationship you want with your child after delivery. The main options you can choose from are closed, semi-open, and open adoptions. There are no wrong choices here, as each option can help a birth mother out to varying degrees. For closed adoptions, a birth mother will receive no contact with the family and their adopted child. This form of adoption can help a mother move on when it might be difficult to do so otherwise. Semi-open adoptions can also help create a separation while also providing some information about your child. With these types of adoption, you will be able to receive scheduled updates on how your child is doing with their adopted family.
If you are looking for more of a relationship with your child, open adoptions can help provide this. Open adoptions allow you to have an active role in your child’s life for a set amount of time. This role is agreed upon with the adoptive family prior and is a unique situation. Open adoptions take the form of scheduled meet-ups, calls, and status updates and transition to semi-open or closed over time.
Choosing an Adoptive Family
Another essential choice at the heart of private adoption is choosing the family your child goes to. This choice allows you to choose the family your child is going to be raised by, which can provide comfort. The families you have the option of selecting from are all screened and interviewed, so you can have confidence in choosing. You can even meet with the families beforehand to see if they are a good match for your baby. Choosing a loving family for your child is an important decision that should be left up to you.
Adoptions are able to create a love for all the families involved and provide support to birth mothers while doing so. National Adoption Month is a testament to all the good adoption creates and the progress yet to be made. If you are considering adoption, know Adoption Choices of Oklahoma has support for you.
