Support, Clarity, and Respect for Birth Parents

Birth parents come to adoption from many different circumstances. Some are facing an unplanned pregnancy. Others are making decisions for an older child, navigating foster care involvement, or planning for a child’s future during times of uncertainty. No matter the situation, every birth parent deserves accurate information, ethical representation, and a process rooted in dignity and respect.

At Tate Healey Webster, we work closely with birth parents across Florida to explain legal options clearly and without pressure. Our role is not to tell you what choice to make but to ensure you understand your rights, the legal process, and the protections available to you, so you can move forward with confidence.

Understanding Your Options

Adoption is not one-size-fits-all. Birth parents may explore different paths depending on their circumstances, including adoption planning during pregnancy, voluntary custody arrangements, guardianships, or adoption for an older child. We help birth parents understand how each option works under Florida law and what it may mean emotionally and legally for both parent and child.

Protecting Your Rights and Your Voice

Birth parents have important legal rights throughout the adoption process. We provide guidance on consent, timing, confidentiality, communication preferences, and the selection of adoptive parents, ensuring your wishes are respected and properly documented. Our attorneys focus on ethical, legally sound processes that prioritize informed decision-making at every step.

Compassionate Guidance During Difficult Moments

Frequently Asked Questions From Birth Parents

How do I place my baby for adoption in Florida?

Every adoption starts with understanding your options and your rights. Having a confidential conversation with an adoption attorney will help you understand how the process works, what decisions are required, and when those decisions are legally made.

Can I talk to an adoption attorney without committing to adoption?

Yes. You can ask questions, share your concerns, and learn about your legal options without any obligation to move forward. Many birth parents reach out because they want information and clarity, not because they’ve already made a final decision.

Is adoption still an option if I am late in my pregnancy?

Yes. Adoption can still be an option at any point during pregnancy, and sometimes even after birth. Every situation is different, and timing can affect the legal steps involved. An adoption attorney can walk you through what options may still be available and help you understand the next steps without judgment or pressure.

Do I have control over the adoption decision?

Yes. Birth parents have important legal rights throughout the adoption process. You have the right to understand your options, ask questions, and make informed decisions at your own pace. An adoption attorney’s role is to make sure your rights are protected and that no decisions are rushed or made without your full understanding.

Will my information be kept confidential?

Yes. Your privacy matters. Conversations with an adoption attorney are confidential, and your personal information is handled with care and discretion. Whether you are just gathering information or actively exploring adoption, everything you share remains private.

What if I’m considering adoption but still unsure?

Feeling unsure is completely normal. Many birth parents explore adoption while weighing other possibilities and emotions. Speaking with an attorney can help you understand what adoption would involve legally and practically, without requiring you to make a decision before you’re ready.

Can adoption be an option for an older child or a child in foster care?

Yes. Adoption is not limited to newborns. Some birth parents explore adoption planning for older children, voluntary custody arrangements, or situations involving foster care. These situations can feel especially complex, and legal guidance can help you understand the options available and which steps make sense for your family.

Will I have my own legal representation separate from the adoptive parents?

Yes. Birth parents are entitled to independent legal representation. Having your own attorney means you have someone focused entirely on your rights, your questions, and your well-being throughout the process. This helps ensure adoption is handled ethically and transparently.

What does it cost to speak with an adoption attorney as a birth parent?

In many cases, birth parents can receive information and legal guidance without cost or obligation. An attorney can explain how fees are handled under Florida law and answer questions openly, so you know what to expect and can feel comfortable asking anything that’s on your mind.
