What Next?

If your pregnancy is unexpected it is important to talk about you options with someone as soon as possible.

The web site will tell you about how adoption works in New Zealand today. Adoption is one of your options. If you want to discuss other options chat to a pregnancy counsellor. Some pregnancy help lines are staffed around the clock so whenever you call someone will be happy to talk to you. Pregnancy services are listed under “P” in the White Pages.

Adoption is One of your Options

This web site will tell you about how adoption works in New Zealand today. Please do check out the information on this site and you may find it helpful to view “The Adoption Option” DVD. This contains true stories from birth mums who have placed children for adoption as well as interviews with a birth father, a birth grandmother, an adoptive couple and five people who were placed for adoption as babies. The DVD is free, although if you can afford it we would like a $10.00 to cover costs and can be posted out to you (in plain packaging) anywhere in New Zealand. It can be ordered via the resource order form on this web site.
