Why You Might Be Considering Adoption for Your 2-Month-Old

There are many reasons why you might be considering adoption for your 2-month-old. 

Maybe, after taking your child home from the hospital, you’ve had second thoughts about parenting. Or, maybe you had less support than you originally anticipated, either from your family or from the birth father.

All of this extra stress can cause you to ask, “Can I bring my baby to an adoption center at 2 months?” 

There is a lot to think about while you’re wondering, “How do I put my 2-month-old up for adoption?” First of all, you should know adoption is always an option — even at 2 months old. 

If you’re considering adoption instead of parenting, it’s highly recommended that you speak with one of our adoption specialists. Not only will they be able to give you more information on placing a 2-month-old for adoption, but they’ll also be able to help you craft an adoption plan for your unique situation. 

How to Put My 2-Month-Old Baby Up for Adoption with American Adoptions 

Placing a child up for adoption at 2 months is very similar to placing a child at 1 month or even at the hospital. No matter your reason for choosing adoption for your 2-month-old, we are here to help you with each step of the adoption process and ensure that your experience is smooth, safe and full of hope.

Your adoption plan is tailored to your hopes and expectations for the future of your child and because many of us are an adoptee, have placed a child for adoption or have adopted a child, we can provide a unique level of care. 

The steps to making an adoption plan  for a 2-month-old will include: 

• Step 1: You’ll start by calling 1-800-ADOPTION. There, you’ll be connected with an adoption specialist that can help explain the process to you. After explaining your situation, you’ll be asked to fill out social and medical history forms for yourself and your 2-month-old. 

• Step 2: Based on your preferences in an adoptive family, your specialist will send you different profiles to look through. You may be anxious about finding a couple that will be willing to adopt your child.  But don’t worry; there will be plenty of families for you to choose from when you work with our agency. We work with more potential adoptive parents than most other adoption professionals, giving you the best chance of finding the right family. 

• Step 3: After you’ve found the perfect family, the adoptive family’s specialist will notify them about their adoption opportunity. You’ll spend this time getting to know them through emails, phone calls, and even visits if you live close enough to one another. 

• Step 4: While getting to know the adoptive family, you’ll be able to discuss your preferences for open-adoption and post-adoption contact. After raising a child for the past two months, choosing to have openness in your adoption can help make the transition easier. Remember to talk to your adoption specialist if you believe this is the right option for you. 

• Step 5: With your adoption specialist and adoption attorney’s help, you’ll complete your adoption paperwork for the adoption to become legal. The consent process differs depending on your state’s laws and regulations. Your adoption specialist and an attorney will make sure that you understand your legal rights in an adoption completely before you sign. 

Like every prospective birth mother, you’ll receive our complete support and adoption services, such as:  

• 24/7 counseling and support. 

• Access to hundreds of available family profiles from around the country. 

• The amount of post-adoption contact you would prefer. 

• And more. 

The most important thing to remember is that you’re not “giving up” on your child or “giving them away.”  You’re giving them the gift of a beautiful future. 

Adoption is a decision based on your desire to ensure your child has a loving and nurturing environment that provides everything he or she needs for growth and development.
