Making an Adoption Plan in Westerville

Adoption is not about "giving up" your baby it’s about making a thoughtful, loving decision for their future. With CFK, you’ll take the journey step by step:

  • Step 1: Reach Out

    Call, text, or message us at 330-294-9811. We’re here to listen, not pressure.

  • Step 2: Meet Where You’re Comfortable

    We’ll meet in your home, at the hospital, in a coffee shop, or online. Whatever feels right for you.

  • Step 3: Learn About Adoption Options

    Understand open, semi-open, and closed adoptions so you can choose what works best for you.

  • Step 4: Choose an Adoptive Family

    You’ll view adoptive family profiles and select the one that aligns with your values. You can meet them, too.

  • Step 5: Create Your Hospital and Adoption Plan

    You decide the details: who’s in the room, how much time you want with your baby and the adoptive family, and what happens afterward.

  • Step 6: Post-Placement Support

    We stay with you long after placement through counseling, retreats, and a supportive birthmother community.
