Your Hospital Plan [What you Should Know]

American Adoptions of Arizona will help you create a hospital plan that meets all your needs because you deserve to be as comfortable as possible when your due date arrives.

So, what is an Arizona adoption hospital plan? Your adoption hospital plan, sometimes known as an adoption birth plan, is the blueprint for your hospital stay. This is your adoption and your hospital experience, so you get to make your own decisions when it comes to creating your hospital adoption plan. If you’re unsure of where to start, your adoption specialist will be there to guide you as you create your hospital plan.

Your newborn adoption birth plan allows your adoption specialist to coordinate with the hospital staff so that they can make the proper arrangements for your hospital stay. Many of the adoption specialists at American Adoptions have been in your shoes as birth parents. They understand how important a positive hospital experience is to the adoption process and will do everything they can to make sure your needs are met.

What is an Arizona Adoption Hospital Plan? 

Your adoption plan will always be yours to control. An important part of that plan is your hospital adoption plan. This plan will include everything you would like to see happen on the day of your delivery. This allows your adoption specialist and the hospital staff to have everything taken care of beforehand so that you can focus on the birth of your baby.

Things your adoption plan can include are:

  • Who you want in the delivery room

  • Which hospital you will be delivering your baby at

  • Whether or not you want the adoptive family in the delivery room with you

  • Who will hold your baby first

  • How much time, if any, you would like to spend with your baby

  • And more

Kaitlin, a birth mother who chose American Adoptions, had her baby’s adoptive parents in the delivery room at the time of her daughter’s birth.

“I remembered filling out my hospital plan when everything was about me, me, and me — but then all that happened, and I felt like it wasn’t about me anymore,” she said. “I couldn’t wait to see them hold her for the first time. It just overall confirmed that my daughter was in the arms of the parents that God had led me to like I had asked.”

Your adoption hospital plan is meant to ensure that your hospital stay goes smoothly and that all of your needs are met. You have enough to think about with the adoption; your due date shouldn’t be filled with uncertainty. You know what’s best for you. Your adoption specialist will be with you every step of the way to help you create a birth plan for adoption that’s right for you.

There’s a lot that happens during your hospital stay, so you have a lot of choices to make. While it might be beneficial to get an early start on your adoption hospital plan, you don’t have to finalize anything until your due date gets closer. You can also change your mind about anything in your Arizona hospital birth plan at any time. To get more information on creating a hospital plan that’s right for you, contact us online today.

You Can Change Your Adoption Birth Plan

Even though the adoption process is straightforward, making the decisions that go into your hospital birth plan in adoption can change as your pregnancy progresses. You will never be bound to any choice in your hospital plan. You can change your mind at any point, even after you’ve arrived at the hospital.

If there are any changes you want to make, let hospital staff or your adoption specialist know. Your adoption specialist will be happy to make the appropriate arrangements with the hospital on your behalf. Your delivery day will be an emotional one, and we want to do everything we can to make it easier.

Maybe you’ll decide that you want the adoptive family to be more involved in the delivery as you get to know them. Or maybe you’ll change your mind about how much time you’d like to spend with your baby once they’ve been born. No matter what it is, it is well within your rights to change your mind. You know what’s best for you, and you deserve the care you’ll be most comfortable with.

No matter what changes you want to be made to your hospital plan, make sure to communicate those changes to your adoption specialist. The sooner they know, the sooner they can make these changes for you. Even if there’s a part of your adoption hospital plan that you’re on the fence about, you can still talk to your adoption specialist. They will talk you through your options and help you make the choice that’s best for you.

The Importance of a Newborn Adoption Birth Plan in Arizona

Your Arizona adoption hospital birth plan is one of the most important parts of your adoption plan. It’s the guide your adoption specialist will use to help make the appropriate arrangements with the hospital of your choice so that you don’t have to worry about it. We want to alleviate as much stress as we can during your adoption process. When you create your hospital adoption plan, you will always be able to make your own decisions free of judgement.

If you’re not sure where to start or are feeling overwhelmed, American Adoptions is here to help. Your adoption specialist will have your back from start to finish. Your hospital stay will be one of the most physically and emotionally exhausting points in your adoption process. Your adoption specialist can sit down with you and talk you through the emotions you may experience on your big day. Being able to mentally prepare can help you figure out coping strategies and can make you feel more in control of your adoption process.

“She was there for me when I didn’t have anybody, and she always knew just what to say,” Lindsey remembered of her adoption specialist. “I did have a lot of concerns and fears, and she knew how to talk me through them. She’s someone that’s — even now, three months after I’ve had my baby — probably going to check in on me from time to time. She was just amazing, and I’m so glad that she’s in my life.”

We want to make sure that all your needs and wants are met throughout your adoption. Placing your baby for adoption is a brave and selfless decision, and you should always have the power to guide your adoption in the direction you would like it to go. Many of our qualified adoption specialists understand what you’re going through because they’ve been in your shoes as expectant mothers themselves.
