What About Adoption?
In the Seattle-Portland area, there are several very
good agencies to assist with adoption. We encourage you to contact them to find
out how adoption works, things to take into consideration when making the decision,
and what happens after the adoption.
In an "open" adoption, the
birth mother and adoptive mother can get to know each other and stay in touch for as long as they like. This
may or may not be right for you. To learn more about adoption, please call
the following agencies. Open
