Pregnant?

Pregnancy can be challenging, especially when unexpected. We understand the emotional weight of this decision and its lifelong implications. Our social workers are honored to empower all women with knowledge and freedom to explore every option without pressure - so that you may make an informed decision that resonates with your personal values and circumstances.

Our services for expectant parents are always confidential and completely free. We’d be happy to meet with you at our office, at your residence, or at a neutral and comfortable location. You can be connected to a social worker at any time or day of the week most convenient to you by texting or calling 559.905.1000.

Adoption Planning

Adoption planning begins once you have decided that adoption is the right choice for your child. The goal is to craft an adoption plan that respects your choices and wishes for your unborn child. We aim to support you throughout your pregnancy and help alleviate any stress you may be experiencing. The level of support you receive will be tailored to your individual needs and desires. If you find the process emotionally challenging and require additional counseling and support, we will ensure your adoption plan includes these services. Throughout this journey, your social worker will provide emotional support and guide you through each step of the adoption plan.
