Making an Adoption Plan in Grove City: What to Expect

Adoption is not about “giving up.” It’s about making a thoughtful, loving plan for your child’s future. At CFK, you set the pace and make the choices. We simply walk beside you.

    Call, text, or message us confidentially at 330-294-9811. We’ll listen and answer your questions no pressure.

  • Step 2: Meet Where You Feel Safe

    We can meet in your home, at a coffee shop, hospital, or virtually. Whatever is most comfortable for you.


  • Step 3: Learn About Your Options

    We’ll explain the differences between open, semi-open, and closed adoption so you can choose what feels best.

  • Step 4: Choose the Adoptive Family

    You’ll view adoptive family profiles and select the one that feels right. You can also meet them, if you’d like.

  • Step 5: Build Your Personalized Plan

    You decide how you’d like your hospital experience to go, how much contact you want after placement, and more.

  • Step 6: Get Ongoing Support

    After placement, we offer free counseling, post-placement retreats, and a community of other birthmothers.

Understanding the Types of Adoption

Every birthmother deserves the right to choose how much privacy or connection they want. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:

Adoption Type What It Means Best For
Open Adoption You choose the adoptive family and may receive updates, photos, or even visits. Women who want ongoing contact and connection.
Semi-Open Adoption CFK shares updates on your behalf, keeping your identity confidential. Women seeking privacy with occasional updates.
Closed Adoption No identifying information is exchanged. Women who want full confidentiality and privacy.

You can change your plan at any time before signing legal consent after birth.
