Giving a Baby up for Adoption
Giving up a baby for adoption isn't easy - for the mother or father.
If you'd like to consider adoption, your doctor can put you in touch with the social service, who will advise you from there.
Counselling will be provided, to be sure that you're happy with the situation, and aware of any future implications once the child has been adopted.
The agency itself can't guarantee that your child is brought up in exactly the way that you wish, but it will always put the child's welfare first when choosing a suitable family.
You can wait for a suitable family before agreeing to an adoption, or transfer your parental rights to the agency who will find a home on your behalf.
Once a family has been found, they can then apply for their own adoption order.
Neither birth parent has the right to see their child after she or he has been adopted, although the child can get in touch with them after the age of 18.
Even so, some adoptive families feel it is healthy for the child to be aware of their origins, and may consent to some contact.
