Are you pregnant and considering placing your baby for adoption?

Making the decision to place your baby for adoption will be one of the most difficult decisions of your life. But making the decision to place is the most selfless, loving gift you can give to your baby and a family anxious to have a child join their lives. This decision is one that takes the utmost strength, courage, and love. At Heart to Heart Adoptions, we want to help and support you through one the of the most challenging times of your life. This blog is a good start, and has information that will help you as you consider your options.




At any time if you want to speak to someone personally, please call 1-877-62- HEART. (877 624 3278) Jodi and Luci are available 24/7 to answer questions, or link you to someone who can. We also have counselors available to assist you and discuss your feelings during this time.

At Heart to Heart, we offer two options for birth mothers...staying in their home state, or coming to Utah, where our home office is. If you choose to come to Utah, we will pay for you and your children, if any, and a support person to fly to Salt Lake City. We will have someone to pick you up at the airport and take you to your private apartment. Our apartments are fully furnished in private complexes. They are not group homes or government housing. You will have a case manager assigned to you who will take you shopping and on a weekly activity. (many of our birth mothers choose to go to lunch and a movie, or sightseeing around town...you choose!)

You will receive a weekly amount of money for food. You also have a counselor assigned to you for you to meet with every week to discuss the many emotions and questions you will have during the process of adoption. We have a birth mother support group every Thursday where you can meet with other birth mothers and our staff.

We have group activities once a month with all the birthmothers and the staff at Heart to Heart. These activities are lots of fun, and we all look forward to them. You will have a great support system at Heart to Heart; someone to always talk to - a shoulder to cry on, if need be, and a friend to laugh with and share a smile.

You, the birthmother, are our hero. Your courage to make the decision to place a child with a loving family is such an amazing gift. As one of my birth mothers told me, "I love this baby enough to give her to you." I cherish that. And I cherish my baby...and her birth mother.

Once you've decided that adoption is right for you and your baby, what comes next?
