“I was 34 weeks pregnant when I finally admitted I couldn’t parent. I thought it was too late for adoption. Heart to Heart helped me create a plan in just two weeks. My son went home with an amazing family, and I have peace.” — Brooklyn, American Fork
Whether you’re in your third trimester in West Jordan or you just gave birth in Roosevelt, it’s never too late to consider adoption. Heart to Heart Adoptions has helped many women in Utah create adoption plans, even in the final weeks of pregnancy or after birth.
Can I Make an Adoption Plan in My Third Trimester?
Yes. Many birth mothers contact us late in pregnancy. Some found out they were pregnant late. Others have been trying to figure things out on their own. No matter how far along you are, we can help you make a plan quickly and with care. Emergency support is available 24/7. We can fast-track family approval and provide immediate financial and housing help when time is short.
What If I’m Already at the Hospital and Haven’t Made a Plan?
Call us from the hospital. This has happened before, and we can help. A placement can still be arranged, and you will still have counseling and support. You do not have to sign anything until you are ready. We will come to you.
“I went into labor at 36 weeks and hadn’t made any plans. Heart to Heart had someone at the hospital within two hours. By the time my daughter was born, everything was arranged.” — Skylar, Millcreek
Why Do Women Sometimes Choose Adoption Late in Pregnancy?
There are many reasons including relationships changes, financial situations change or become more complicated, unexpected health complications, family dynamics shift, or previous plans fall through. Sometimes it just takes time to face a hard truth and ask for help. Whatever your reason, we will not judge you. We will just help.
Will I Still Be Able to Choose the Adoptive Family?
Yes. Even in late pregnancy, you can review profiles and choose the family. We may have less time, but your right to choose does not go away. We will show you strong matches as quickly as possible so you can make a decision that feels right.
“I thought I had to take whatever family was available because I waited so long. But Heart to Heart still let me choose. I found the perfect family in three days.” — Peyton, Clearfield
What About Medical Concerns Late in Pregnancy?
Late pregnancy and high-risk situations require extra care. NICU babies may need special placement consideration. Medical history becomes important for the adoptive family. Heart to Heart Adoptions work with high-risk pregnancy specialists and connects birth mothers with families prepared for a range of situations. We coordinate insurance and medical bills so you don’t have to.
What If I Have Other Children at Home?
We support your whole family, not just your pregnancy. We can help with emergency childcare during your hospital stay, offer counseling for older children, and work to keep stability in their lives. Your other children are part of this story too.
“I had a 3-year-old at home and was a single mom. Heart to Heart helped me find childcare and explained to my son why the baby wasn’t coming home. They supported our whole family.” — Paisley, Midvale
