Infant and Child Health

We know that the health of your child is of the utmost importance to you and so we have provided the information and links below.

We are a not-for-profit adoption agency that helps pregnant women, birth mothers, and families. Since 1985, we have helped over 9000 pregnant women, birth parents, and families. Feel free to call (1(800)943-0400) or click on the link Contact Us.

If you decide on adoption, we can make sure your child is placed with the perfect family, your rights are protected, and that you receive all the financial assistance and medical help as well as other types of help that the law allows. All calls are confidential and there is never any obligation or costs to you. Please visit the link "Ways we can help you".
