How Does The Adoption Process Impact Birth Mothers in New York?
The adoption community is a plethora of stories, a diverse and melting pot of people of all shapes, colors, creeds, and backgrounds. Among those many branches of diversity lies the roots below them. At those roots are birth mothers who had the courage, the strength, and perseverance to do what is best for themselves and their baby.
It can seem scary and overwhelming when first starting out with your adoption plan, but know this: when all is said and done, you will find happiness and clarity on your decision.
At Adoption Choices of New York, we want to help you see many rewards, benefits, and positives for birth mothers when they complete their adoption.
Adoption Helps Bring Closure to Birth Mothers
Whether planned or unplanned, pregnancy can be an extremely exhausting thing. That is a unifying experience all birth mothers can attest to. But the circumstance leading up to it can have many variables and twists that give way to many testimonies and stories.
For many birth mothers, the situation surrounding their pregnancy can be negative. There may be unpleasant memories or thoughts associated with their pregnancy that they just want to move past. Adoption is a way to return to normalcy, a way to get back to that safe place in their life where they felt they had control over things.
It is totally normal to want that. It is not selfish to want to return to a place of safety.
Adoption is meant to help birth mothers move on and close that chapter that has been dwelling on them and release any tension it has put on them. It is not something to be ashamed of but something to be celebrated.
Adoption Adds To Your Family, Not Subtract It
The community we have today was built by the many birth mothers who chose to make one of the hardest and possibly arduous choices of their lives. Without it, we would not have the things we have today.
Family is one of the biggest values in the adoption community. They are pillars many stand on for support. Whether it be blood relatives or loyal friends, family is an important thing for a child to have to grow up happy and healthy. A stable environment filled with people who want to see their baby be successful and have a bright future is.
It is common for birth mothers to feel some sort of guilt or sadness when their adoption plan is completed. She may go through a series of feeling sad, regretful, or maybe even hurt about it. Do not see adoption as “giving up your baby.” But see it as extending it now to your adoptive parents and giving them the gift of your own creation.
Adoption Gives Your Baby A Better Shot At Life
A birth mother’s reasons for choosing adoption will vary from woman to woman, but the one thing that holds true for them all is that they wish better for their child. They wish for them to find and be given better opportunities that they would not be able to find with themselves.
Considering to move forward with the adoption process in New York is one of the most selfless acts you can do for your baby. You want them to be enriched in their lives. You want them to be fulfilled with their new adoptive parents and feel safe in your decision of the family you choose.
Depending on what type of adoption you decide to go with, it does not necessarily have to be the end of your relationship with your baby. If you choose to have an open or semi-open adoption for your baby, you can still witness and watch them grow up.
There Is So Much Love in Adoption
We know the many challenges you face, the numerous struggles you endure. But every birth mother has risen from those obstacles and has come out stronger from them. Despite those challenges and obstacles, whether it be from family, friends, or from someplace within, it is never done alone.
Because the adoption community is so large and diverse, the sense of community and support is the glue that holds it all together. When finishing your adoption plan, you are instantly connected to every mother, child, and family with the same story as you.
They are people to look to when you need a shoulder to lean on, an ear than being lent, a place to call home and connect with.

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 for 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.
