What About Medical Care?

You may or may not have already seen a doctor. Obtaining prenatal care is important to both your health and the health of the baby. Giving your baby a healthy start is another gift you can give to him or her. You may already have your own doctor and this is fine. If not, we will work with you to find the best medical facility for your situation. If a final decision for adoption is made, medical expenses relating to the pregnancy and birth of the child will be paid by the adoptive couple.

The exception to this will be in regard to rare cases where a child is born with significant complications and medical problems. Our ability to facilitate adoption for a child with these concerns will depend upon our adoptive parent resources and the availability of insurance to cover unusually large medical bills. Referral may need to be made to the state agency, which has resources to handle these unusual cases. In any event, you will be involved in this decision making process and whatever changes may need to be made.
