Choosing Adoption When the Baby is Already Born
You still have the option to choose adoption any time after your baby is born, even if you are still at the hospital or you have taken your baby home.

Last-Minute Hospital Adoption
Is adoption still an option?
Whether you are on your way to the hospital, still in the hospital, or have left the hospital with the baby, if you do not want to parent the child, you owe it to yourself and this newborn to explore adoption. Talking to or meeting with our adoption agency does not obligate you to proceed with an adoption. We will treat you with kindness and respect and never judge or pressure you to proceed with an adoption.
It’s never too late to choose adoption.
Just because it is a last-minute adoption, you still have control of your adoption plan. My law office and a team of other adoption professionals are well-equipped to handle last-minute adoptions from the hospital. They will work quickly to coordinate everything necessary for your adoption plan. In addition, all of our waiting families are prepared for a last-minute adoption. They are willing to travel anywhere in the country at a moment’s notice.
Place your baby for adoption from the hospital.
You still have the option to choose adoption any time after your baby is born, even if you are still at the hospital or you have taken your baby home. Contact me anytime, day or night. Either another adoption professional I work with, or I will be available 24/7 to help you.
Kansas Safe Haven Law
You may be able to take advantage of the Newborn Infant Protection Act Law (Safe Haven law) if your baby is less than 60 days old. Infants can be dropped off with any employee on duty at a fire station, city or county health department, or medical care facility. You can remain anonymous, no questions asked. Or you can participate and help develop the adoption plan you feel is right for your baby.

Step 3: A dedicated adoption professional will work through all the adoption plan details with you.
