Coral Springs Hospitals for Prenatal and Maternity Care and Delivery

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering adoption in Coral Springs, you have a lot of decisions to make. These decisions are all part of your adoption plan — who you want to adopt your baby, what kind of contact you want with them post-placement, how much financial assistance you need, etc.

You’ll also need to create a hospital plan, detailing how you expect your childbirth experience to go. As part of this plan, you’ll select a local hospital to receive prenatal care and eventually deliver your child. Your adoption specialist will work with this medical provider to prepare you all for this important moment. Remember: All of your medical expenses leading up to and during this stay will be covered by the adoptive parents you choose.

Local hospitals in Coral Springs, Fla., include:

• Broward Health Coral Springs
• Northwest Medical Center
• University Hospital and Medical Center

Coral Springs Courts for Adoption Finalization

If you’re an adoptive parent, your adoption journey won’t be officially over until you complete an adoption finalization.

This is a court hearing that typically takes place six months after adoption (and after you have completed any required post-placement assessments). A judge will review your adoption paperwork, ask you a few questions and, if they approve, will issue a final decree of adoption. This makes your child a legal member of your family! This is a celebratory moment, so don’t forget to bring a camera and your loved ones.

Finalization hearings for Coral Springs adoptions typically occur at the Broward County Courthouse.
