There is never any pressure from any of us here at Hudson Hearts. We all fully understand just how big a decision this is and we want you to be sure before you move forward. We are here to help you explore all of your options, not just adoption. We really will be here for you every step of the way.

Yes, you can choose the family for your baby. All of our families have put together a profile about themselves for you to read, see pictures, and get to know them. You can talk, text, and meet them as well. We want you to spend as much time as you need to feel sure that they are the perfect match for you and your baby.

Yes, you can have help in paying for your rent, groceries, phone, utilities, maternity clothing, transportation and child care.

Every family that we work with has gone through a thorough screening process (including child abuse clearances) and has a completed and state-approved Homestudy. The families we work with have been waiting to welcome a baby into their lives and are ready to love and keep your baby safe. And after you have placed your baby in their home, our families continue to have post-placement supervision.
