1-Month Unwanted Pregnancy in Kansas [0-4 Weeks]

One of the first things you should do is consider your unplanned pregnancy options. From a general standpoint, there are three to select from:

• Parenting
• Abortion
• Adoption

Take all the time that you need to reach a decision that works best for your situation. There is no need to rush this process.

5-8 Weeks Pregnant And Don’t Want a Baby [2 Months]

During the second month of your pregnancy, you may begin to feel some unpleasant symptoms. This could include nausea, morning sickness and fatigue. You might even discover your pregnancy during this timeframe. When the eighth week approaches, you’ll want to schedule your first prenatal checkup. It’s important to stay on top of your health through this process, and American Adoptions will be there to support you.

3 Months Pregnant And Don’t Want a Baby [9-13 Weeks]

Around this time, you may want to start shopping for some maternity clothes. If you pursue adoption, then you may be able to get these clothes for free through adoption financial assistance and living expenses. Toward the end of the month, it could also be time for an ultrasound, as the baby will soon develop into a small bump and start moving its fingers and toes.

4 Months Pregnant And Don’t Want a Baby [14-17 Weeks]

At this point, the changes in your body will become much more noticeable. Some of the most unpleasant side effects may begin to go away, too. You will also want to schedule a Multiple Marker Screen (MMS), which is a series of blood tests that ensures that both you and your baby are healthy.

I’m 5 Months Pregnant And Don’t Want the Baby [18-22 Weeks]

When the five-month mark arrives, you’ll want to start sleeping on your side instead of your back. You may also notice a substantial increase in your appetite at the beginning of the month, which means the baby is ready for more nutrients. It’s also normal for you to begin experiencing some shortness of breath and swelling, but you could also have an unexpected burst of energy.

I’m 6 Months Pregnant And Considering Adoption in Kansas [23-27 Weeks]

You are roughly two-thirds of the way through your pregnancy now, and you may be worried that adoption is no longer an option for you. But, that couldn’t be further from the truth. You can still choose adoption, even if you’re at the hospital or you’ve already taken the baby home. If you’re six months pregnant and considering adoption in Kansas, then call us at 1-800-ADOPTION to get started today.

Can I Put My Baby up for Adoption if I’m 7 Months Pregnant? [28-31 Weeks]

If you are seven months pregnant, then it is not too late to choose adoption. American Adoptions can help you find the right adoptive family for your baby.

Many prospective birth mothers feel a sense of reassurance once they begin searching for the perfect adoptive parents, and we can help find “the ones.” You may also have a “gut” feeling like Sara, a birth mother who worked with us, did.

“After a couple of phone calls, we met for the first time on March 31, a day I will never forget,” she said. “The hugs and kisses lasted forever between us, and we just meshed. It felt like I had known them my entire life. I was more confident in my choice – not just in adoption but in picking the perfect couple to raise the baby.”

Is It Possible to “Give a Child up” for Adoption after 8 Months of Pregnancy? [32-35 Weeks]

Because you are only a month away from delivery, you could be wondering if you can still choose adoption while you are eight months pregnant. When you work with American Adoptions, you can still choose adoption whether you’re eight months pregnant or you’ve returned home from the hospital with your baby in tow. It is not too late to choose adoption at this point in your pregnancy.

The Adoption Process at 40 Weeks in Kansas [9 Months]

At this point, you are nearing the end of your pregnancy, and you could go into labor soon. You may be wondering what the adoption process at 40 weeks in Kansas is like. The truth is that your adoption journey isn’t that much different from someone who would choose adoption early in their pregnancy.

At American Adoptions, our team comprises birth parents, adoptive parents and adoptees, so we can ensure that your adoption journey will be as smooth and stress-free as possible. We also have more than 30 years of experience, and we have helped plenty of people just like you.

“I was lucky enough to find American Adoptions, who immediately took some of that weight away by walking me through the steps and supporting whatever decision I made,” Brittnee, a birth mother who worked with us, said. “They sent me several wonderful profiles of hopeful parents, and I just knew right off when I found the right one. They were the perfect family, the type of family I had pictured for myself as I looked forward to my own future.”
