Adoption in Las Vegas

If you're pregnant in Las Vegas and not sure what to do next, you're not alone, and you don't have to decide anything today. Premier Adoption Agency has helped women across Southern Nevada since 1999. Our Las Vegas adoption specialists are available 24 hours a day by phone at 1-800-876-0187 or by text at 702-475-4904, and every service we offer expectant mothers is free.

This page explains how adoption in Las Vegas works, what support is available to you, and what to expect when you reach out.

 

A local Las Vegas adoption agency that comes to you

Premier Adoption has an office in Las Vegas at 3320 Sunrise Ave, Suite 107, but you don't need to come to us. Our local team can meet you where you're comfortable: your home, a coffee shop, a doctor's office, or the hospital. We regularly help women in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Boulder City, Laughlin, Pahrump, Logandale and Mesquite.

Because we're a licensed Nevada adoption agency (license #125402461) and not a national call center, the people you speak with live here, know the local hospitals, and can be at your side quickly when you need them.

 

It's never too late to make an adoption plan

Many women don't contact an adoption agency until late in pregnancy, while they're in labor, or after their baby is born. That's okay. If you're due soon, at a Las Vegas hospital right now, or your baby has already been born, call or text us. Our team can come to you right away and help you understand your options, with no pressure.

 

Your private, custom adoption plan

Adoption in Las Vegas today looks very different from what many people imagine. With Premier, you stay in control and make the decisions:

• You choose the family. You can look through profiles of loving, screened adoptive families and pick the one that feels right. You can meet them first if you'd like.
• You choose the kind of contact. Some women want an open adoption with visits, calls or texts. Others want letters and photos, or more privacy. Your plan reflects what you want.
• You decide about the hospital. Who is in the room, whether you hold the baby, how much time you spend together. Your adoption specialist helps you write a hospital plan.
• You can change your mind. Making a plan doesn't commit you to adoption. Until you sign legal consent after the birth, the choice is yours.

 

 

Free support for expectant mothers in Las Vegas

Every service we provide to expectant mothers is free and confidential, whether or not you choose adoption.

• 24/7 support from a caring adoption specialist, by phone or text, day or night.
• Help with paying your bills during pregnancy, such as rent, utilities, food and transportation, within what Nevada law allows.
• Medical support. We can help you find prenatal care and, if you don't have insurance, help make sure your medical bills are covered.
• Legal guidance at no cost to you, so you understand every document before you sign.
• Support after placement, including ongoing counseling and the chance to connect with other birth mothers.
• A birth mother mentor, if you'd like to hear from a woman who has made an adoption plan herself.

 

 

How adoption in Las Vegas works, step by step

1. Reach out

Call 1-800-876-0187 or text 702-475-4904, or send our short form. Someone will reply quickly, any time of day. You can ask questions without giving your name.

2. Meet your adoption specialist

Your adoption specialist will explain your options, including parenting resources if you decide to keep your baby, and answer your questions about adoption in Nevada.

3. Create your plan

If adoption feels right, you'll choose a family, decide on the kind of contact you want, and make a hospital plan. We'll also help you with practical needs during your pregnancy.

4. Placement

After your baby is born, if you still feel adoption is right, you'll sign legal consent. In Nevada, a birth mother can't sign consent until at least 72 hours after the birth, so you have time with your baby and time to be sure. Your adoption specialist will be with you throughout.

5. Life after placement

We stay in touch after placement. We help with updates, letters, photos or visits, depending on your plan, and we offer counseling and support for as long as you need it.

 

Nevada adoption laws, in plain language

You don't need to know adoption law to make an adoption plan. That's our job. But here are a few things expectant mothers in Las Vegas often ask about:

• Waiting period: In Nevada, consent can't be signed until at least 72 hours after your baby is born.
• The baby's father: Nevada law includes rights for birth fathers. Your adoption specialist will explain how his rights apply to your situation, even if he isn't involved or you don't know where he is.
• Expenses: Nevada allows certain pregnancy-related living and medical expenses to be paid. We'll explain what's available to you.
• Court: Birth mothers usually don't need to go to court.
