Adoption for Pregnant Women without U.S. Citizenship in Ohio
Putting a child up for adoption without US citizenship is a fairly common occurrence, but many women without citizenship who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy have concerns or are unaware of their options.
American Adoptions is committed to helping every woman and child through adoption — and we are here to help you too.
The biggest concern we hear from mothers putting a child up for adoption without US citizenship is that they will be turned in to the government. Rest assured, paperwork is always confidential, no information will be released without your consent and any child born in the United States has the right to be adopted. No matter if you are living in the United States undocumented, or have a travel visa, you have the ability to place your child for adoption.
American Adoptions has assisted in undocumented adoptions in the past and has translators readily available as needed. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in this life-changing decision you are making. If you are in a situation where you think adoption is the best decision for your baby, call 1-800-ADOPTION or fill out our online form to start your adoption journey today.
Adoption for Prospective Birth Mothers in Jail in Ohio
American Adoptions has worked with women facing nearly every circumstance imaginable, this includes women considering adoption in jail or prison. If you are pregnant in prison or jail, like all women, you have the right to choose adoption for your baby.
American Adoptions can help you create an adoption plan and find the adoptive family for your baby. Your specialist and adoption attorney will walk you through the adoption process which will operate similar to the domestic infant adoption process. If you so choose, you have the right to open adoption, which may allow you to have a relationship with the adoptive family and your child, after the placement has occurred.
Although the process may have different restrictions, the goal is the same — finding a caring and supportive family for your baby. If you are considering adoption in jail or prison, call 1-800-ADOPTION to speak with a professional about your situation and to learn more about open adoption and adoption assistance in prison.
Adoption for People with an Existing CPS Case
Life tends to hand people different circumstances at different times. Although you may want what is best for your baby, you may have concerns that your current status does not make that possible. A common question we hear is “Do I have the right to adopt my child out in Ohio when there is a CPS case involved?”
In some situations, the answer is yes.
Even if you have an existing Child Protective Services case open that is regarding one of your other children, you still have the right to pursue adoption for your unborn or newborn baby. Although this situation is unique, American Adoptions can assist you in making sure your adoptive goals are being met for your baby.
If you are attempting to place your child for adoption after they have been taken by social workers, Ohio CPS handles the placing of your children which may include foster homes or placing them with a biological family member. In this situation, you cannot place them for adoption.
Contact an adoption specialist at 1-800-ADOPTION to get more information about your options for adoption when CPS is involved.
