The Birth Parents

The Wyoming Children’s Society requests that birthparents fill out a social/medical history form to provide any known social and/or medical information to the adoptive parents. In most cases the birth parents meet the adoptive family and exchange personal information as well.

The Wyoming Children’s Society provides options counseling and support to all birthmothers in our program. In the event the birthparents need more in-depth professional counseling appropriate referrals will be made. In some instances, birth parents may need assistance with medical expenses. If not eligible for Medicaid or other public medical assistance, in some cases adoptive parents may be asked if they can assist with medical expenses. Other assistance birthparents may need such as transportation, groceries, housing, living expenses are provided by the Wyoming Children’s Society.

Birthparents retain all legal rights to the child until the voluntary consent for adoption form is signed.
