If You Need Help Right Now, Emergency Adoption Is an Option

If you are in a state of panic or feel like you’ve run out of time, emergency adoption is designed for this exact moment.

Whether you are currently in labor, at the hospital, or already home with a baby you cannot care for, you can make a safe, legal plan immediately.

You can move from crisis to a concrete plan in a single phone call. Get help 24/7. Call 1-800-ADOPTION.

What Happens When You Reach Out

  • You will speak with a specialist who handles high-stakes, urgent placements every day.
  • If you are at the hospital now, we can coordinate with staff and social workers to protect your privacy and handle the paperwork.
  • You can view video profiles of pre-screened, waiting families on your phone immediately. These families are “active,” meaning they are ready to travel to you within hours.
  • We can instantly begin coordinating assistance for medical bills, legal fees, and essential living expenses (where permitted by law).

How the Emergency Adoption Process Works

Speed does not mean a lack of care. We use a streamlined process to protect your rights and your baby’s safety:

  1. Speak with a specialist who understands high-stakes situations.
  2. View profiles of families ready to travel to you immediately.
  3. You receive free 24/7 counseling to help you process this decision during the adoption for years after.

Is It Too Late for Emergency Adoption?

No. We provide immediate assistance to women in any of these situations:

  • You are currently in labor or at the hospital.
  • You have already been discharged and are at home with the baby.
  • The baby is several weeks or even months old.

Adoption professionals can coordinate a legal placement at any stage, ensuring your baby is safe with a vetted family while you receive the support you need.

You Are Not In Trouble—and You Still Have Control

Even in an emergency situation, adoption is your choice, and you remain in control.

You can decide:

  • You choose the family from pre-screened, waiting couples.
  • You decide on contact—whether you want an open adoption with updates or a closed adoption for privacy.
  • You get financial help for medical bills and living expenses, as permitted by law.

You are never required to place a child for adoption just because you ask questions or ask for help.

It’s okay to explore your options before deciding anything.

You Don’t Have to Worry About Costs or Medical Bills

If you’re considering adoption, adoption is completely free for you. You will never be asked to pay for medical care, legal services, or adoption support.

Depending on your situation and your state’s laws, this financial support may include:

  • Medical expenses related to prenatal care and childbirth
  • Legal costs required for the adoption process
  • Living expenses such as rent, utilities, and groceries (when permitted by state law)
  • Transportation to medical appointments or the hospital

Our goal is to remove financial pressure so you can slow down, breathe, and make the decision that feels right for you.

You Deserve Support — Not Pressure

If you’re in crisis, you may feel pressure from others to “hurry up” or “just decide.” Adoption should never feel like that.

A reputable adoption professional will:

  • Listen first
  • Explain your options clearly
  • Respect your pace
  • Support you, regardless of your final decision

You deserve kindness, honesty, and time, even in an emergency.
