Adoption Option

Why we place our babies for adoption

Abigail Rebecca Summer

Welcome

Our vision is simple — ‘educating about adoption in New Zealand today’.

Our aim is to help pregnant women understand that adoption can be a positive option if a woman is not in a position to parent her child. Another part of our education role is explaining to prospective adoptive parents and health professionals how the adoption process works in New Zealand and that open adoption is now the norm.

Thanks for taking the time to look us up — we hope you find the site helpful.
