Consider adoption

Every child deserves a safe, loving, permanent home. Adoption can provide this. You can make plans to have your baby adopted even before giving birth.

Interviews and background checks on adoptive parents are done to make sure they:

  • Have no criminal history
  • Have room in their home for a child
  • Can support the child financially
  • Can provide a loving, safe home

For more information on adoption

Call the Illinois Adoption Registry

Or visit the Illinois Adoption Registry web site.
