AZ Adoption Information

Hi All,

Our family recently discovered that my MUCH younger sister is pregnant and to protect her privacy I'll just say she's not in a position to be a parent at this stage in her life.  My husband and I know how valuable and precious this child is and we're trying to encourage her to consider adoption.  I truly think it would help if we were able to get her in contact with an adoption agency or adoption advocate that may be able to give her unbiased advice and information on the process and her options.  Does anyone know of a service that may be able to help us?  Also, can you think of anything that we can do to support or encourage her decision? TIA

    Do you know if she would rather go through a lawyer or an agency?  Is she in the Phoenix or Tucson area?  I am in AZ and am happy to look into some resources for you.

    Hi bhead81, She's in the Phx area and we're so naive about the process I'm not sure whether a lawyer or agency is better.  Any help/advice you can offer is fabulous!  I'm just sick to my stomach thinking about how precious this baby will be and how unprepared she is.  I just know in my heart that there is the perfect family out there that would love and cherish this baby.  I know she's scared and has lots of questions about the adoption process and think it would help her to make a decision if she was able to talk to someone about it.

    Since she sounds pretty young I would probably recommend an agency rather than a lawyer.  There are some really good lawyers out there but not always do they setup counseling.  I sent you a PM with a couple agencies.  I am praying for your family!

    Beverly Quidort at Adoption Specialists of AZ is amazing and the top adoption counselor in the state! I highly recommend having your sister talk to her. Please let me know how I can help! I'm in phx and just adopted a few months ago! I also work with an org for teens that are pregnant/teen moms so if she needs peer support I can get her in touch with some girls her age.
