Consent to give a baby up for adoption in Georgia should never be coerced or pressured. State law stipulates that birth parents have the legal right to request informed counseling about their rights and options before signing consent. This counseling must be:
- Non-directive and neutral, offering a full overview of adoption alternatives (open, semi-open, closed).
- Delivered by a licensed social worker, attorney, or agency professional, ensuring you understand the implications (post-consent revocation period, legal rights, and adoptive family selection).
Unique to Angel Adoption:
- Licensed trauma-informed therapists available
- Peer-led and professional support circles throughout Georgia
- Counseling offered in both English and Spanish
Georgia handles paternity in three major ways:
- Marriage – Husband at the time of conception is presumed to be the father.
- Voluntary Acknowledgment – Signing a Paternity Acknowledgment (that’s notarized) or by adding his name to the birth certificate and putative father registry.
- Court or administrative action – Georgia courts or the Division of Child Support Services can establish paternity via genetic testing or hearings.
Our track record:
- Approved in 97% of uncontested adoption filings
- Dedicated attorneys with expertise in intricate adoption matters
Your medical rights are protected by state and federal laws:
- Confidential Medical Records: HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) protects your medical records from most outside individuals, including agencies, adoptive parents, your child, or the court system.
- No Mandatory Sharing: You do not have to reveal genetic or medical history unless you choose to provide it.
- Limited Exceptions: Information may be released without consent only if required by law (e.g., court orders or in cases of abuse)

Financial Support Available to Georgia Birth Mothers
Placing a baby for adoption in Georgia is an act of love, and state laws help ensure your financial needs are covered. Whether you're facing housing insecurity or medical bills, there are legal pathways for adoptive families to support you.
Housing
Adoptive parents can legally provide housing assistance to help you maintain a stable and safe environment during pregnancy. This may include:
- Rent or utility payments
- Temporary housing
- Relocation assistance if needed
Work with an agency or adoption attorney to help ensure everything is arranged legally and ethically.
Medical
Medical costs related to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery are typically covered by the adoptive family. In addition:
- You may qualify for Medicaid coverage if you meet Georgia's income requirements.
- All prenatal care, including ultrasounds, checkups, and medications, can be covered as part of the adoption.
Daily Living Expenses
Georgia law allows for the payment of reasonable and necessary pregnancy-related expenses. These might include:
- Groceries and nutritional support
- Transportation to appointments
- Maternity clothing
- Phone and utility bills
All payments must be documented and approved through legal channels—usually a court filing managed by your attorney or agency.
Cultural Sensitivity in Your Georgia Adoption Story
Adoption is a deeply personal experience, and your cultural background matters. Georgia’s adoption professionals are committed to honoring your identity and heritage in the process.
Hispanic/Latino Support
If Spanish is your primary language or you want your child to grow up in a culturally similar environment, many agencies offer:
- Bilingual adoption specialists
- Hispanic/Latino adoptive families
- Culturally relevant resources and community referrals
You can request to match with families who reflect your background or values.
Faith-Based Support
For many birth mothers, faith is a cornerstone of healing and decision-making. Ask your adoption agency if they can:
- Connect you to care providers who include spirituality as part of their services
- Show you adoptive profiles of religious adoptive families
Military Families
If stability and structure are priorities, military families may offer what you’re looking for. Adoption professionals can:
- Explain military healthcare and TRICARE benefits
- Review adoption benefits for service members
- Coordinate with family support services on military bases
- Help you or the baby's father navigate deployment or relocation
Educational and Career Support During and After Pregnancy
Choosing adoption doesn’t mean giving up your future. We can help you stay on track with your goals.
Educational Assistance
Whether you're finishing high school, pursuing college, or considering a GED, support may include:
- Help with re-enrolling in school
- Referrals to educational grants or scholarships for birth mothers
- Childcare referrals for school continuation
- Housing assistance to remain in school
Career Development
Once you’re ready to return to work or start a new path, agencies can help you access:
- Job readiness workshops
- Resume assistance and interview prep
- Training programs in healthcare, business, and trades
- Referrals to Georgia’s career services (e.g., WorkSource Georgia)
Emotional Wellbeing Throughout Your Journey
Your mental and emotional health is as important as your physical wellbeing. Adoption professionals in Georgia offer comprehensive emotional care before, during, and after placement.
Professional Counseling
Licensed therapists are available at no cost to you, often paid for by the adoptive family. Mental health care can help you:
- Build confidence
- Work through trauma or past pain
- Prepare emotionally for placement and life afterward
- Process difficult or complex feelings
Peer Support
Connecting with other birth mothers can be incredibly meaningful. Look for:
- Group therapy or support meetups
- Mentorship programs
- Online communities for birth moms
Milestone Support
Important dates can bring up unexpected emotions. We provide:
- Anniversary support (child’s birthday, holidays, etc.)
- Check-ins at regular intervals and upon request

Open Adoption Relationships in Georgia
Georgia supports open and semi-open adoptions, allowing you to stay connected with your child if that’s your wish.
Communication Options
You have the right to choose the form of adoption that works best for you:
- Open Adoption – Ongoing visits, video calls, emails, or in-person meetups
- Semi-Open Adoption – Updates via photos, letters, and messages handled by an agency
- Closed Adoption – No ongoing contact after placement; records are sealed unless unsealed by court order
Your adoption plan should reflect your comfort level and communication preferences.
Creating Sustainable Relationships
Georgia can enforce post-adoption contact agreements, but only in certain circumstances. Even without the courts, many adoptive families honor their commitments. Your agency can help you:
- Discuss expectations early
- Draft a contact agreement
- Learn how to maintain healthy boundaries and communication
Special Circumstances Report
Adoption plans are never one-size-fits-all. Georgia provides resources tailored to your unique situation.

- Help you navigate parental or guardian involvement
- Advocate for your privacy and autonomy

- Agencies provide trauma-informed care
- Legal professionals can protect your privacy in the court process
