Services<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001sZ9n7QHesBZ9vmMuSRJo1VtlcaMk4XezZv2h98HuL6LBF6PM3xUJtdr_PPjerIzIuVzIBsmaxAQjSvBRS_43-hEdj0Vqpu4XWUDFNITDDtvX7BdCxDcxGA==>,
we know you care deeply about the needs of the pregnant women you serve. We
understand how difficult it can be to provide individual, in-depth
all-options pregnancy counseling when you're faced with budget cuts, time
restraints and mounting responsibilities. We're here to help!
We are a pro-choice agency that provides free pregnancy options counseling.
We help women explore all three options -- parenting, abortion and adoption
-- by providing them a safe space to make the decision that feels best to
them. We understand that the majority of women seeking options counseling
will choose parenting or abortion. In fact, 85% of the expectant parents we
serve pursue a path other than adoption. What makes us different from most
adoption agencies is that we're here to support expectant parents no matter
what decision they make. ****

We can help you give women the support they need.****
