Adoption Doula Support

What is adoption doula support?

Adoption Doulas provide support to birth mothers and adopting families through pregnancy, birth, fostering, and the early postpartum transition. As your adoption doula, you can count on my unconditional support, nurturing, kindness, humor, honesty, encouragement and dedication in guiding a birth mother or adoptive family through your birth and adoption process.  With every adoption doula birth and postpartum package, I offer the following non-medical aspects of care:

Birth mother support:

  • One in person consultation session, FREE of charge. Additional consultations for a fee.
  • 2-3 prenatal appointments prior to childbirth to ease fears, provide education, practice comfort measures for labor, and build your labor support plan.
  • Emotional and physical support continuously through labor and shortly after the delivery.
  • My availability to you and your partner by phone, text, and email throughout your pregnancy for emotional support.
  • 24×7 On-call labor support starting two weeks prior to your estimated due date and until your baby is born.
  • Evidence based education on pregnancy, labor options, and what to expect for recovery.
  • Customized birth and postpartum recovery plan
  • As your doula, I will support your personal plan for birth.
  • Two postpartum home visits after birth. Additional postpartum support is available as requested.

Adoptive family support:

Adoption Doula Fees

Prices vary based on service provided and location.   I promise I have nothing to hide. I provide a valuable service I hope you will value equally as much. Email me with additional questions.

Ask me about discounts when you hire me for both birth doula and postpartum doula support.

Donate Birth Doula Services:
I believe all families who want doula care should be able to have access to a doula.  Please consider making a donation to a family who cannot afford doula services on their own or to a family needing bereavement services.
