Are Birth Fathers in New York Adoptions Forgotten?
The adoption community comprises both men and women with a lifetime of stories, a melting pot of people of all shapes and sizes. Among those men and women are birth mothers and fathers who stand as the pillars of the community. New York birth fathers, in particular, can sometimes be sorely forgotten when adoption stories, testimonies, or celebrations are made. Our birth mothers are strong, and so are the men who stand beside them through their pregnancy and adoption process. They can be our unsung heroes who gently support the birth mothers while they go through the adoption process, or they can take a leading role and completely take over. Adoption Choices of New York will analyze and break down the importance of Birth Fathers in New York and why they play such an important role!
Why Birth Fathers are an Important Part of the Adoption Process
Having your baby’s father there to support you throughout the entire adoption process is extremely comforting. Being there and present while those decisions together, helps in taking some of the anxiety associated with the choices away. Decisions made with birth fathers allow him to demonstrate his paternity significance.
Birth fathers are meant to share the roles and responsibility in helping with the adoption plan creation. No matter their relationship status, having help in deciding what your child’s future will look like with your chosen adoptive family is always nice to have. Cooperation between parents is needed to make the right choices.
Of course, every birth mother’s story or situation with her child’s father is different. The circumstances surrounding them may make things hard to move forward. It’s important to remember to put bad feelings aside and focus on your child’s future instead.
In cases where birth fathers are unknown, or the birth mother does not want their help, it can become extremely isolating. The birth father isn’t present in the decision-making of his child’s future, while the birth mother is left on her own to dictate everything maternally.
Adoption Choices of New York knows this feeling, and that’s exactly why we work tirelessly to close that and alleviate that feeling of loneliness from an absent birth father.
Going through the motions of your adoption process can be a scary and sometimes even overwhelming experience. However, birth fathers showing up and being present through all the stages of your adoption plan speaks volumes of their importance. Being together through the toughest parts of it strengthens assurance in making the right decision.
It is also crucial to remember birth fathers are just as entitled to having their voice heard as birth mothers. It is their child as well. Working together with both of them helps keep the cohesion fluid and reminds them that their opinions and concerns are valid.

Meet the Author: My name is Alexander Charles Cooper, I come from a family of four that originates from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I, along with my younger brother Greyson were born in North Carolina, three years after my parents had wed and moved to the state. My birthday is April 4th, 2000, which is where I draw my lucky number four being from. I share that birthday with Maya Angelou, which I take pride in, for she is a great poet and author herself, her passion for writing is something I share with her also.
Growing up, I had the privilege of having both of my parents in my life and a stable upbringing in which I was surrounded by family and friends constantly. Every need was provided and my parents worked to give me any want or desires that were within their means to gift and that I earned. Much of my family foundation is built on faith which has given me a discipline and practice that has allowed me to discover and build my spiritual self. My mother has been my biggest spiritual teacher and has taught me many things in regards to prayer and other lifelong wisdom that aides me every day. As I grew older and my understanding of the world expanded, I took an interest in politics and worldly news that allowed me to excel in American literature, philosophy/ethics, and higher learning.
From that, my passion in writing bloomed and I found what my true calling was; I wished to create and write for a living and knew it was what made me happiest. My only wish is for me to bring about positive change for others both near and far and leave a lasting legacy that contributes to the overall wellbeing and joy of others.
