Pregnancy Counseling

At Children’s Home Society, our counselors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you explore your options and assist you in deciding what is best for your baby. Whether you choose parenting or adoption, we will be there to support you during your pregnancy and after your child is born.

• If you choose to parent, our social workers will evaluate what you will need to provide for your child’s future and guide you through available resources to help you meet your goals. We will help you be the best parent you can be.

• If you decide you are not ready to parent, but want your child to remain in your family, we can help you place your baby with relatives. We provide individual and family counseling as you consider whether this is the best plan for you.

• Should you need time to consider all your options or make a few changes in your current living situation so that you can bring your child home, we can help you place your child in the home of a loving family that will provide care until you are ready to parent. We encourage you to visit your baby during this time. During short-term placement, we will provide support, counseling and referrals to help you on your path to parenthood or develop an adoption plan.

• You may decide adoption is the best option for you. If this is the path you choose, you have the right to choose the family yourself, or you can have Children’s Home Society choose one. You can select a family you know or one approved by us. Either way, you decide how much contact you would like with your child and the adoptive family.
