An unplanned pregnancy can be a shock. It can bring up a wide range of emotions and a lot of questions. Fortunately, Heimer Law can answer your questions, explain your options, and — if you’re ready — help you begin your adoption journey. But we also know that many women have fears that can interfere with making that call. Here are 10 fears you might have when you think about calling an adoption lawyer like Heimer Law. After reading this list, we think you’ll see why you should go ahead and call Heimer Law, knowing you’ll feel better once you do.
- Fear of being judged At Heimer Law, we are on your side. We start by listening. When you’re ready, we can provide information.
- Fear of pressure Calling Heimer Law doesn’t mean that you’ve made a decision or started a process that will roll on without your permission. We don’t put pressure on you at any point. Also, you should know that there are no laws requiring anyone to report, track, or monitor any calls you make to an adoption lawyer. You don’t need to share your name or number with us until you want to do so, and we will take no action without your request for us to do so.
- Fear of the unknown You may not know anything about adoption law. You can browse this site to find answers to questions you may have, but you don’t need to. Arkansas adoption law is very empowering for birth moms. Talking with an adoption lawyer is exactly the right move when you need more information about adoption.
- Fear of feeling confused by legal terms Sometimes it’s hard to make a call because you’re not sure what to say and you’re not sure what you’ll hear. If you’re worried that someone on the other end of the line will ask you about relinquishment or the putative father registry, stop worrying. We speak normal English.
- Fear of legal consequences There are no laws that prevent a private conversation with a lawyer. At Heimer Law, we can answer your questions with complete confidence that there will be no consequences for you.
- Fear of costs We offer free consultation. Beyond that, though, rest assured that placing a baby for adoption never comes with costs for a birth mother. If anyone suggests that you should pay them for assistance or advice in your situation, they are trying out a scam. Talk with Heimer Law for fee.
- Fear of regrets Most moms who choose adoption are happy they did so. They know that they’ve made a brave and loving choice with the welfare of their child in mind. That doesn’t mean that people never have regrets, whether briefly or over time. But a conversation with Heimer Law does not commit you to any course of action. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make the best decision for you and your child.
- Fear of losing privacy You may not be ready to share the news of your pregnancy with anyone yet. It’s natural to worry that calling an office could mean that your secret will get out and your family, your employers, and your community will know. You might worry that your information will be on file in our office. In fact, we are very discreet. You don’t need to share any more than you want to, and we will not share any information you trust us with. Your privacy is important.
- Fear of emotional upset We know that this can be a difficult call to make. We understand that you might cry when you talk with us, and we don’t see any reason to be embarrassed about that. Most women who talk with us feel calmer and more confident after the conversation. After all, knowledge is power. Having thoughts run around and around in your head is much more stressful than talking with an expert who can answer your questions.
- Fear of not knowing what to say Call and say that you’re considering adoption. At that point, we’ll let you know that the call is confidential, that you are not making any commitments by calling us, and that you can end the call at any time. We may ask general questions to make sure we understand your circumstances. Then we’ll explain your options and your legal rights. We can answer any practical questions you may have. We do not open a file, notify anyone about the call, or ask you to sign anything.
