A BABY TO LOVE ADOPTION AGENCY will facilitate adoptions in every state except New York and Connecticut.
Interstate Compact regulations prevent us from placing children in these two states.
The agency is licensed by the state of Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to place healthy newborns
and infants up to the age of 6 months of age into adoptive homes. The agency is licensed only for U.S. Adoptions.
We are dedicated to providing adoption services to any person without regard to race, color, ethnic group, national origin,
sex and or religious affiliation.
Counseling is the Primary focus of the agency.
We provide counseling for the Birth Mothers throughout the pregnancy from the first meeting and up to 6 weeks after
giving birth to the Child. Our adoption counselors will communicate with the Birth Mother on a weekly basis by telephone
or in person and provide one on one counseling as needed by the Birth Parent. The counseling can be anything from
just listening to her concerns to providing emotional support and or grief counseling. The agency will work with the Birth
Mother in working on plans for her future after the birth of the baby and setting goals and the ways to achieve the goals.
The availability of counseling services for the Birth Mother is based on the individual and her needs and her willingness to
accept the counseling. Counseling is available to the extended family as needed up to 6 weeks after the birth of the baby.
Counseling for the Adoptive Parents will be available from the time they first call the agency and inquire about the
adoption process through to the finalization of the adoption which includes the waiting period after the home study, the
birth of a child or the placement of a child in their care, and the time up to the finalization of the adoption. All areas are
explored between the Birth Parents wishes and the Adoptive Parents wishes and expectations. Medical and genetic
background information is provided to the Adoptive Parents to help in this decision making, as well as any personality
traits or talents, etc. The same counselor will work closely with both sets of parents to ensure that a desired and
successful match is made. Counseling is available to adoptive families from the time of the home study until the finalization
of the adoption.
Birth Mother Services
A Baby To Love Adoption Agency will assist Birth Mothers in locating a qualified OB/GYN for obstetrical care that they
feel comfortable with and is of their choosing. We guide them in the selection of a hospital and or any other services they
need, including but not limited to social services, housing, transportation, food and or prenatal education. Once a Birth
Mother is accepted by the agency we start on getting her prenatal care started as soon as possible. We will work with
Birth Mothers who smoke or use marijuana, provided that the Birth Mother agrees to discontinue the use of any smoking
while pregnant. No other use of any illegal substances is acceptable and if abused the Birth Mother will be advised that
we will not be able to continue to assist her. The Birth Mother will be asked at the intake interview to agree to drug, HIV,
and sexually transmitted diseases testing as soon as possible and again at birth.Birth Mothers are provided assistance as
