Liz
I'm looking to adopt a baby
Hi, my name is Liz! I live in beautiful Western Massachusetts. I am a coach, graphic designer, adventurer, athlete, creator, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, and I find value in all those roles. I was raised outside of Boston, went to college in Colorado, and lived for many years in Oregon. I’ve even traveled to Europe, Africa, and Australia, so when I say Western Massachsettes is a beautiful place, you can know I’ve done my research! I moved back east in 2013 to be closer to family and old friends and I love the community I’ve created.
I’ve long been an avid outdoor enthusiast. I get outside every day for walks in the woods with my dog. I also like to travel, mountain bike, ski, kayak, and snowshoe (but not all at the same time!) and I’m excited to introduce a child to these great activities. The world is such an exciting place!
While 20 years ago I wouldn’t have expected to be pursuing adoption as a single parent, I feel very confident that I am meant to be a mom and that adoption is the right path for me. I am now in a place where I have the financial resources and the community around me to help support a child. I can’t wait to bring a baby into my home.
Financial Support
Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.
