Can I Choose Adoption at the Last Minute in Pennsylvania?

Yes, even if you’re making your decision at the last minute, adoption is still an option. Whether you’re in the third trimester or have just given birth, you have the right to choose adoption.

The process for last-minute adoption may differ slightly compared to choosing adoption earlier in pregnancy, but the control you have over the decision is the same.

If you need immediate assistance, call 1-800 ADOPTION. We are available 24/7 to guide you through the process if its right for you. We can help you choose the right family and create a plan for your baby’s future.

Can I choose adoption after giving birth?

Absolutely! Many birth mothers choose adoption after they’ve already delivered. This is common and completely valid.

American Adoptions works with mothers every day who decide to place their baby for adoption after childbirth. Our professionals are available to guide you through the next steps, ensuring you have the control and support you need.

Is it too late to choose adoption in the third trimester?

No, it is never too late to choose adoption, even if you’re in your third trimester.

If you’re close to your due date, we can help you find the perfect adoptive family quickly, with a wide selection of pre-screened families in Pennsylvania and across the country. You will have the control to choose a family that fits your vision for your child’s future.
