FAQ - East Liverpool Adoption Support

  • Can I still choose adoption after I give birth?

    Yes. Many women make an adoption plan from the hospital or even days or weeks later.

  • Is adoption really free?

    Yes. CFK services are always free to birthmothers. In many cases, we can also help with living expenses.

  • Will I pick the adoptive family?

    You have full control. You’ll view profiles and decide who feels right. You can meet the family too, if you choose.

  • What if I want privacy?

    That’s okay. You can choose semi-open or closed adoption and keep your information private.
