Pregnancy Support & Open Adoption Services

"I wanted to make the best decision for me and my baby."

If you are pregnant, you and the support people of your choice can receive the following services from us at no cost. We serve everyone regardless of religious background and we are committed to helping you in whatever way we can.

• Free counseling during and after your pregnancy by master's level counselors
• Non-judgmental support to help you make your own decisions about your life and your child's future
• Information about parenting and adoption. Both options are fully explored with you without any pressure
• Assistance in obtaining and paying for medical coverage, housing, food, and other necessities whether you choose adoption or parenting.

If you decide to parent your baby we will help you by providing counseling and support, helping you access resources, and assisting you as you physically and emotionally prepare for your baby. We provide these services throughout your pregnancy and for up to four months after the birth of your baby. In addition, we have a mentoring program and periodically offer parenting groups for new parents.

If you choose adoption, we will help you develop an adoption plan that is in the best interest of you and your baby. You will have the opportunity to review albums of prospective adoptive parents and choose the adoptive parents for your baby. If you desire, we will help you develop an ongoing relationship with the adoptive parents of your choice and support you in this throughout your child's life. We have carefully screened all of our adoptive parents and each desire a life-long, caring, and respectful relationship with you that is much like extended family.
