The Adoption Process for Birth Mothers

Unplanned Pregnancy? Understand How the Adoption Process Works

At AIM Adoptions, we understand the emotional journey that comes with the adoption process. We're a locally operated non-profit agency based in Texas, here to guide you every step of the way. Our services include:

• Personalized adoption plans
• Supportive counseling
• Legal assistance
• Post-adoption support

Count on us today and let's start this journey together.

Step 1: Contact Us

Because of your interest in adoption, our Texas adoption agency has information packets which can be made available to you at no obligation. You may request one by calling us today.

When you receive this information packet, please look over all of the materials provided. Be sure to examine the information thoroughly. We encourage you to ask questions. You will not be pressured by anyone at the adoption agency to make a hasty, ill-informed decision. Building strong families means preparing adoptive parents. Take the first step by contacting us today.

Step 2: Make a New Friend

If you should decide AIM Adoptions is the Texas adoption agency that will best meet your needs, you will be assigned a caseworker. You will have access to your caseworker 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through her cell phone number, which will be provided to you at the time that you make a commitment to work with our adoption agency in Houston. The phone is set up to receive e-mail, text messages, and pages.

We ask that non-emergency needs be handled during reasonable waking hours, whenever possible. All urgent/emergency requests will be addressed immediately, while non-urgent requests may be scheduled for a time convenient to the caseworker and you.

If you have any problem reaching your caseworker, please call us now.

Step 3: Your First Interview

Although adoption is a very loving option for young women finding themselves in a crisis situation, other alternatives must be looked at to make sure that the best plan is made for the child. During your initial interview with AIM Adoptions, you will be assigned a qualified counselor; Counseling is an important part of your plan.

You and your counselor will discuss options other than adoption that include:

• Parenting your child with resources offered through TDFPS (food stamps, AFDC, Medicaid, HUD housing)
• Family members to assist you in parenting
• Seeking the biological father as a resource for support and assistance to you and your child

If you should complete an adoption for your child, post-adoption counseling is encouraged and available for an indefinite period, free of charge to you. AIM Adoptions has several books and pamphlets to assist you with understanding the adoption process as well as helping you customize an adoption plan to meet your particular needs. Please call your counselor about materials that would be helpful to your individual situation.
