The Benefits of Adoptions
Adoption benefits everyone in the adoption triad. Many of the benefits are helpful to the birthmother and birthfather. Other benefits come to the child who is being placed for adoption and/or the adoptive parents. Adoption can bring a positive ending to a problematic situation and can benefit everyone involved.
One of the first things many birthmothers or birthfathers are thinking about is finishing school or going off to college. It is possible to parent a child and continue your education, but some birth parents find it easier to continue schooling after placing for adoption.
