Unplanned Pregnancy
No one should have to face an unplanned pregnancy alone.
We understand you didn’t expect to find yourself in this situation. You may feel confused, scared, alone or just unsure how to move forward. We know that you just want to do what is right for your baby and yourself. You are not alone. We can help find that path.
We will listen and help you form a plan for the best interests of both you and your baby. Although you may not be ready to parent, we know you still have unique dreams and desires for your child. You will determine how open you would like this adoption to be and what sort of family you would wish for your baby.
Our support and services are free and confidential.
We help you get the physical and emotional care you need before and after the birth of your baby. This may include assistance with living and pregnancy expenses, referrals for services, counseling or education.
Things may seem crazy right now, but you have more options than you realize, and we are here to help you find the way forward.
Support & Services
Before your baby is born, we will work with you to get medical care for you and your baby. We will help arrange for healthcare so that both of you can be healthy when the baby comes.
We will also work to ensure your living situation is safe, clean and comfortable. You may be fine right where you are, or you may feel you need help. We’re here for you.
We will talk with you about what you want your adoption plan to look like. This will include thoughts about what sort of family adopts your baby, what kind of long term contact you may want, and even what happens in the hospital. Some expectant moms have a lot of interaction with the adoptive family – others choose not to. It’s really your plan, and we will talk with you about the pros and cons of each.

Birth & Beyond
Our relationship isn’t over once you have your baby. A staff member you are comfortable with will be regularly coming to the hospital to make sure you are well taken care of, your interests are protected, and your questions are answered.
Once you go home, we’re here for you with counseling if you need, or even just a good conversation over coffee. We can also connect you with community services and support groups.
Long term, you can choose for us to be the contact point between you and your baby’s adoptive parents.
Most importantly, we don’t go away. We are with you for the long haul.
