In my last post, Things the Adoption Agency or Professionals Forgot to Tell You, your rights were mentioned more than once so I thought it would be a wise idea to post them so that you are completely aware of what your rights are.
Please note: You do not become a birthparent until you sign relinquishment papers signing over the rights of your child. Until then, you are still your child’s parent…
You have the right to:
Please note: You do not become a birthparent until you sign relinquishment papers signing over the rights of your child. Until then, you are still your child’s parent…
You have the right to:
- Be treated with respect and dignity.
- Choose, meet, and ask questions of the adoptive parents to raise your baby.
- Have all of your questions answered honestly and truthfully.
- Hold, see, spend time with, and name your baby.
- Choose the level of openness you are most comfortable with.
- Receive pictures and updates of your child until the age of 18 if you so desire.
- Actively participate in creating your adoption plan.
- Receive pre and post adoption counseling if you so desire.
- You have the right to receive assistance with your doctor’s visits and living expenses prior to the adoption, and hospital bills within the limits of the law.
- Make whatever choice you feel is the best one for your baby.
- Change your mind and choose to parent.
- Take as much time as you need to reach a final decision.
