Counseling: Listening Carefully and Exploring the Possibilities

We're here to help birth mothers through the most difficult decisions they'll ever face.  Decisions that no one else can or should make for them.

Every situation is unique, and everyone facing an unexpected pregnancy has different feelings, concerns, and questions.  We help women sort through the difficult issues and discover solutions they can live with.

We supply information birth mothers need to be well-informed, such as options for medical care, the demands of motherhood, and  the legal considerations for adoption.

If you find yourself in a crisis pregnancy, you may be confronting dilemmas and asking questions similar to the ones here.  Our counseling begins with listening to your concerns, understanding your feelings and relationships, and clarifying what's important to you.  Our experience with birth mothers can be useful as you seek the greatest good for your life, your baby, and your relationships.
