Our use of the terms “putting up” or “giving up” does not reflect how we feel about adoptive placement. These terms remain the most widely used search terms for those who are considering adoption for their baby, and we wish to reach all who seek this important information.
When you think about adoption, you may wonder, “Where to start?” A lot of people turn to the internet, even to find something that is local. If you are pregnant, you need to go to a place nearby for care. If you want to adopt a baby, you need to work with an adoption agency serving your area.
This page has information for Grand Prairie, Texas and the Dallas, Tarrant, and Ellis County regions. If you are pregnant we have links to Pregnancy Resource Centers. This type of place is sometimes called a Crisis Pregnancy Center. We also provide a list of hospitals with birthing centers. If you are thinking about adoption for your baby, we are here to help you to make a plan. For many years, ANLC has been a trusted resource for adoption.
