One of the biggest misconceptions about adoption is that it means saying goodbye forever.

Modern private adoption often includes ongoing connection through:

We actually get calls regularly from prospective adoptive parents asking if we have a list for special needs adoptions, including Trisomy 21. And yes, we have worked on many special needs adoptions and consider it the highest privilege to do so.

Two things can be true at the same time…

A mother and father may not feel prepared to raise a child with special needs.

And there are waiting lists of vetted, stable, loving families - many specifically hoping to adopt a child with Down syndrome - who are ready and willing to provide that child with a home, love and the care he or she will need.

Acknowledging the challenges of parenting a child with special needs does not make abortion necessary. It simply means support, resources, and alternatives matter.

A difficult diagnosis does not diminish a child’s humanity, value, or worth.

Abortion is never the only option. Never.

"Placing a child for adoption isn’t “giving up.” It’s making a thoughtful choice for your child’s future, even when it hurts. There are a lot of emotions involved, love, grief, hope, and sometimes guilt, but support from others can help you heal and move forward. Every adoption story is different. For me, knowing my child is loved and cared for brings comfort, even though I miss them every day. Open adoption allowed me to stay connected in some way, which helped, but everyone’s experience is unique.⁠
If you’re considering adoption or know someone who is, please offer understanding and compassion. Adoption is a lifelong journey, and birth parents deserve respect for the love and courage it takes to make this choice." - Emmah, Birth Mom⁠
