The right adoption agency will offer you support and guidance throughout the adoption process, without pressure or judgment. The agency’s staff will ensure your adoption plan is safe and legal, and that your needs are met along the way. Most of all, the right adoption agency will be there to support you before, during, and after the adoption takes place.

Making an adoption plan for your baby is an emotional journey, but you are not alone. At Adoptions With Love, caring counselors are ready to help you along every step of the way. Adoptions With Love is a private, reputable adoption agency serving Louisiana since 1986.

Compassionate Support and Guidance

If you are considering giving your baby up for adoption in Louisiana, it is important to know that you are not “giving up.” Adoption means giving your baby an opportunity at a wonderful life, one you may not be ready to provide at this time. This is a brave and loving choice.

Once you have chosen to make an adoption plan, your first step will be to choose a local adoption agency. A supportive adoption agency in Louisiana will offer you a range of free services to help you throughout your journey. At Adoptions With Love, for example, expectant/birth mothers are offered financial support related to their pregnancy in the form of:

• Rent
• Utilities
• Food
• Transportation
• Medical Expenses
• Maternity Clothes
• Other Living Expenses; please contact us for more details

In addition to offering financial support, Adoptions With Love provides custom adoption plans and free counseling and legal services. Whether you have just found out you are pregnant or you have already given birth, we can help you create a loving adoption plan in Louisiana.

With the help of a supportive adoption agency in Louisiana, you also have the power to choose your child’s adoptive family. If you wish, you can receive comprehensive information and photo albums of prospective adoptive families who are ready to adopt. Every family adopting through Adoptions With Love has been carefully screened, with background checks and home visits as part of the state-mandated home study. You also have the choice between an open, semi-open, or closed adoption plan. Your adoption professional can help you determine the plan that works best for you.

It is also never too late to receive emotional assistance from an experienced and compassionate professional. The emotions tied to adoption do not disappear once the paperwork is signed. Adoption is a life-changing experience. The expectant/birth mothers who choose to work with Adoptions With Love become family, and are always welcome to speak with one of our experienced and caring counselors.

Understanding Louisiana Adoption Laws

Adoption laws vary by state. Through Adoptions With Love, you can ensure your adoption is in accordance with Louisiana adoption laws, and that your rights are respected every step of the way. Adoptions With Love will provide you with a professional adoption attorney – at no cost to you – who specializes in Louisiana adoptions. Our team of attorneys has worked with numerous expectant/birth mothers in Louisiana and is prepared to give legal guidance regarding local adoption laws.

When working with a full-service adoption agency like Adoptions With Love, expectant/birth mothers have access to an adoption attorney who is qualified and well-versed with the complex laws surrounding adoption. In the state of Louisiana, if an adoption is being handled by a licensed adoption agency, birth parents can sign their consent to adoption three days after the child’s birth. Before signing the consent forms, birth parents must first complete two counseling sessions, to ensure they are fully confident and comfortable with their decision. Expectant/birth parents that are under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or tutor to surrender custody, unless surrendering to a licensed adoption agency.
