How Can I Afford a Baby?

Raising a child or children is expensive. You need the assistance of others, especially if you’re currently unemployed. Washington and Arizona offer many services to assist single mothers. Antioch Adoptions provides referrals, whether you choose to parent or make an adoption plan for your child.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s available to you.

Antioch Adoptions

While you’re determining whether adoption or parenting is the best option for you, Antioch Adoptions can assist you. Proper prenatal care is important no matter what you choose. We will help you apply for state medical insurance.

If you’re living in an unsafe housing situation, we can refer you to other housing opportunities. We want to ensure you are safe and secure.

We also offer free and confidential mentoring services. Our case workers help you explore the possibility of adoption or parenting. We’ll never pressure or manipulate you into choosing one option over another. This is your life, and we’ll respect your decision no matter what.

If you move forward with adoption, all of Antioch Adoptions’ services are free of charge. An Antioch Adoptions team member will come to the hospital to ensure you are well cared for and that your interests are protected.

You have the freedom to select the family you will give to your child. Take a closer look at our current list of waiting families. We have access to other families hoping to adopt as well.

In addition to choosing the adoptive couple, you can also select the type of plan you prefer. You can choose among open, semi-open, or closed adoption plans. We can explain the pros and cons of each one. And as a birth mother, you’ll receive free legal representation and post-adoption mentoring.
