If you are pregnant and considering adoption, we can help.
Prior to pursing adoption, you can meet with one of our professional pregnancy counselors to evaluate your options and determine your goals for yourself and your child.
Our counselors will be with you every step of the way, to advocate for you to empower you in your role as a parent or birth parent. Pregnancy support is provided via phone, text and in person meetings throughout pregnancy and the level of support and involvement is totally up to you.
As a licensed child placing agency, we can match you with adoptive families that are well educated in adoption, financially stable, and willing to have an open adoption with you if you desire. See profiles of families who are looking to adopt.

Benefits to Choosing Adoption
There are many positive outcomes for those who choose to make an adoption plan when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. These positive outcomes strongly depend on if you are working with a quality adoption provider who will help you make a clear, well thought out decision rather than rushing to choose adoption as a
quick fix.
Parents who choose adoption are more likely to:
- finish school and obtain higher education
- attain financial stability and better employment
- less likely to experience another unplanned pregnancy
- attain more overall stability and emotional health (through pre and post counseling and support services)
- maintain an ongoing role in their child’s life, if they choose to
- report feeling at peace and content with their decision to place
A quality adoption provider will also have approved adoptive parents who have learned and demonstrated their ability to assume the role of as adoptive parents so that they can give a child the best possible opportunities.
Children who are adopted at birth or in early infancy:
- Are less likely to engage in high risk behavior
- Establish strong and lasting parent-child relationships with their adoptive parents
- Show no difference in emotional, physical, mental, behavioral or developmental functioning compared to non-adopted peers
- Report feelings of connection and belonging within their families and communities
Working with a quality adoption provider ensures that you, the adoptive parents and your child receive the support and services that are necessary to create healthy adoptions.
