Pregnancy and childbirth are supposed to be happy occasions. If your circumstances are such that the joy is replaced by stress and hardship, AGAPE may be able to help. Women who feel unprepared to parent due to lack of financial or emotional support, youthfulness, or other situations may seek alternatives to parenting. AGAPE is here to encourage you to face a crisis pregnancy with the help of a compassionate counselor who will assist you. AGAPE’s role is not to promote adoption, but to help you to think through your circumstances and make a plan based on what you feel will be best for the child, yourself, and your partner. Facing the situation and making decisions that support life may help you to deal with the choice to parent or to plan adoption with a clearer sense of peace. AGAPE’s counselors can help you to identify the strengths and resources in your life, as well as the stresses and needs that make parenting difficult.

If you are a birth parent who is facing a crisis because of an unplanned pregnancy, call AGAPE for assistance:

We are here to support you as you make hard decisions and as you plan the life your child will live.
