HomeFamilies and IndividualsPregnancy Support

For over 90 years, Catholic Community Services' Pregnancy Support and Adoption Services have worked with women, men, and families experiencing unplanned pregnancies. We understand how important it is for all individuals involved in the pregnancy and adoption process to have accurate information and for birth parents to have the opportunity to explore their feelings, as they consider what is best for them and their baby.

Catholic Community Services offers a full range of professional services to anyone who is pregnant. One does not need to be Catholic to receive services. Our counselors will meet in our offices, in the person's home, or at another location. Pregnant women, fathers and family members receive:

• Compassionate, free, and confidential counseling and support services, individualized to their needs;
• Respect and understanding;
• Assistance in making the best plan for themselves and their baby;
• Lots of options: the birth parents make all the decisions, including adoption options ranging from very open to more confidential; and
• Continued support in implementing their plan, whether they choose adoption or parenting. (Many agencies and professionals don't continue services if parenting is chosen.)

We look forward to talking with you and assisting in any specific needs you may have. Please feel free to contact our program staff (listed on the right).
