If I decide to place my baby for adoption where do I start?

Frequently Asked Questions about Birth Mother Resources
The safest and best way to get started is to contact a non-profit, fully licensed adoption agency to help you. I advise you not to answer newspaper ads, adopting family internet ads or the adopting family's attorney. These are all called a private adoption and these can be very risky. So risky that in many states, private adoptions are not legal. Whether it is our agency or you select some other program, the agency can help you and protect you and your child.

Dr. Brandon, tigard oregon | FAQ
Unless a baby tooth will fall out in the next several months, it is generally unwise to leave decay on baby teeth. Decay can easily move to other baby teeth or even to permanent teeth. It can also cause pain, and possibly lead to facial infections, and expensive orthodontic problems that could have been avoided. We recommend carefully restoring all decayed teeth to optimal health.
