Can I Give My Baby up for Adoption after Birth in California?

Yes, adoption after giving birth in California is an option.

No two adoptions are the same. Here at American Adoptions, we have decades of experience with the adoption process, and we can attest to that.

Whenever you’re ready to begin, you’ll need to get in touch with our adoption specialists.

When you choose adoption at the hospital, you’ll still get all the services we provide as a full-service, national adoption agency. It may be a little faster than other adoptions, but we’ll help you find the best adoptive family as quickly as possible.

With us, you’ll be able to:

• Choose an adoptive family from your hospital bed.

• Talk with them while they’re traveling to meet you and your baby (if you want).

• Know that all our hopeful adoptive families have been pre-screened to meet legal adoption requirements.

Like all adoption journeys with us, you’ll be in complete control of the adoption process from start to finish. Fill out our online contact form to get more free information now.

When Can I Give My Baby Up for Adoption in California?

People from all different backgrounds have chosen adoption for different reasons. You can make that choice right after giving birth at the hospital, in the following hours after giving birth and even in the months and years following. Adoption is always an option.

But, whether you choose adoption at the hospital or later down the line, there may be some differences in the adoption process. Most adoption agencies, American Adoptions included, place children until age 4.

After that, adoption might still be an option on a case-by-case basis but you have to factor in the relationship between you and your child as they grow older. 

So, you can give your baby up for adoption in California at any time. You just need to be aware of when you make that decision and how it can affect the adoption process.
