Facing an Unexpected Pregnancy in Illinois

Considering placing a child for adoption is definitely one of the most challenging and important decisions that a parent will ever make.

Taking the first step to learn about adoption can feel overwhelming. However, Adoption Center of Illinois is here to support you in a pressure-free environment. All communication is completely confidential. At ACI, we empower you by helping you understand your rights. Most importantly, you deserve to be treated with kindness and without judgment. From the moment you reach out, we will listen with compassion and respect. Our counselors will provide information about adoption and answer any questions you have. With the right support, you can make the decision that feels best for you.

At ACI, we never say “giving up” or “putting up” a child for adoption. It’s important to acknowledge, when someone is facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering adoption, they are not “giving up” anything. These are old phrases used a long time ago. They do not recognize all the thought and consideration that goes into making this decision.  We say “placing a child for adoption”.  It is important to understand that there are many factors that go into someone’s thinking about choosing whether or not to place their child for adoption.

If you are facing an unexpected pregnancy or have already delivered and considering placing a child for adoption in Illinois, ACI can help educate you on the adoption process and Illinois adoption laws.
