Birth Parent Support Services
The following support services are offered at no cost to birth mothers and pregnant women considering adoption.
Pregnancy Chat is an open group setting where pregnant women can come to anonymously discuss their concerns regarding unplanned pregnancy and the options that are available to them.
Maternity Closet is a collection of maternity clothes that is available to pregnant women who are considering adoption. The clothing is offered to pregnant individuals free of charge.
Birthparent Support Group helps those considering adoption placement for their baby as well as those who have placed their baby for adoption, to process feelings and emotions associated with their placement.
Family Options Annual SHARE Picnic is an event for biological and adoptive families to Share Hope And Real Experiences with other families looking to connect through adoption. This occasion offers a casual environment for adopted children to interact with other adoptees, as well as visit with biological families. While we do accept donations there is no required fee to attend.
Birthparent Scholarship Fund is offered annually to one applicant. Birthparents submit an essay about what adoption has meant to them and how it has impacted their life. Family Options staff will vote to select their favorite essay. The winner will receive a small scholarship to be used toward their education.
