I’m pregnant
Adoption Solutions
Your baby will be placed directly with the adoptive family you choose—immediately and permanently. There is no foster care, no temporary placement, and no case plan involved. You can have peace of mind knowing that this is a forever placement with a loving family, just as you intended.
Our Services Are Completely Free to Birthmothers
At Bundle of Hope Ministries, we believe that adoption is an incredible act of love—a selfless choice made by birthmothers who want the very best for their child. We honor your strength, your heart, and your decision to put your baby’s needs first.
An unplanned pregnancy may feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. Your story is not one of loss but of love. Unplanned doesn’t mean unloved. We are here to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and the reassurance that you are making a thoughtful and loving choice.
We believe that your child has a beautiful purpose and a bright future. You, as the birthmother, are also part of that plan, and we are committed to helping you through this journey—before, during, and after your pregnancy.
To ensure that you feel supported every step of the way, Bundle of Hope Ministries offers:
- 24/7 emotional and practical support
- Transportation to prenatal appointments
- Medical referrals and assistance
- Financial help with medical expenses and reasonable living costs
- Childbirth classes and labor coaching if needed
- Adoption support groups
- Educational resources for birthmothers
- Maternity home referrals, if necessary
- Licensed clinical social workers for counseling before, during, and after pregnancy
All financial assistance provided for medical or living expenses is carefully reviewed to ensure compliance with Florida adoption laws. Expenses exceeding $5,000 may require court approval.
The Birthmother’s Process with Bundle of Hope
We understand that this is an emotional time for you and your family. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Your first step is to schedule an appointment—either at our office or at a location that is convenient for you. During this meeting, we’ll walk you through a few simple forms, including:
- General information about you
- A medical release form
- Questions about your health and family history
- Social history questions
You will not sign any adoption consent forms until after the birth, and this will only happen at the hospital after at least 48 hours have passed or upon your discharge, whichever occurs first. In Florida, once an adoption consent form is signed after the required waiting period, it is generally permanent and legally binding, unless it can be proven in court that it was obtained by fraud or coercion.
You will not sign any adoption consent forms until after the birth, and this will only happen at the hospital once you feel fully ready.
We’ll also help you with your prenatal care and connect you with a doctor if needed.
Choosing an Adoptive Family
If you decide to create an adoption plan, we want you to feel confident in your choice. You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Let us know what kind of adoptive family you’re looking for
- Choose from profiles of Christian couples who are waiting to welcome a child
- Meet or speak with the adoptive family to discuss expectations for the relationship
- Work with a social worker who will guide and support you throughout the process
If the biological father is not involved, Florida law provides a Putative Father Registry where unmarried fathers can register to claim parental rights before an adoption is finalized. We can provide information about this process if needed.
At the Hospital: Your Preferences Matter
This is your adoption plan, and there is no right or wrong way to approach it. We will help you think through details such as:
- Would you like the adoptive family present in the labor room?
- Who would you like with you during labor and delivery?
- Do you want to hold and spend time with your baby?
- Would you like the adoptive family to take photos or videos?
- How long would you like to stay at the hospital before discharge?
- Would you like to personally hand your baby to the adoptive family?
We will discuss these options with you before labor, but we understand that feelings can change. You will always have the flexibility to adjust your plan as needed.
Ongoing Support After Placement
Adoption is not the end of your story—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. Our commitment to you does not stop once your baby is placed with a loving family.
All of our adoptive families send us pictures at 3 months, 6 months, and every year until the child is five years old.If you ever want an update, simply reach out, and we will send you photos.
Over the next few months of your pregnancy and beyond, we will continue to check in and be here for you. Whether you need emotional support, counseling, or just someone to talk to, you are never forgotten.
Your journey may not have started as planned, but your love, your courage, and your choice make all the difference.
