We help individuals and families face an unplanned pregnancy in the most helpful ways possible through counseling.

Pregnancy Counseling at Family Counseling and Children's Services includes:

  ~  Quick response to needs

  ~  Help securing financial assistance

  ~  Home visits when needed

  ~  Supportive counseling offered throughout the pregnancy and following the birth of the child

There may be a need for counseling around plans for the child. We will help explore alternatives.

If adoption is being considered as an alternative:

  ~  Traditional Adoption means identities remain confidential

  ~  Semi-Open Adoption means birth parents and adoptive parents may meet with no identifying information exchanged

  ~  Open Adoption means birth parents may meet and exchange identifying information with adoptive the adoptive family

  ~  Designated Adoption means birth parents have previously selected a family

Birth parents are encouraged to participate in the selection of the adoptive family
