What to Expect

♦ Explore all your options through free, unbiased counseling
♦ Provide resources to help you make informed decisions
♦ Support you emotionally and practically throughout the process

Whether you’re considering parenting, adoption, or having a relative care for your child, our team is here to provide information, resources, and support tailored to your needs.

Adoption Services Tailored to You
If you are considering adoption as an option, our services are designed to prioritize your needs and provide all the information you need to make an empowered decision. Below, you’ll find details about how we support you through every step of this journey.
Confidential Counseling Services
We understand the complexity of emotions you may be experiencing. That’s why we offer free, non-judgmental counseling to help you navigate your feelings and create an adoption plan that works for you. Whether it’s answering questions, exploring options, or providing emotional support, our professional counselors are here for you throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
Personalized Matching Process
Our adoptive families come from diverse backgrounds and undergo rigorous screening to ensure they can meet your needs and those of your child. From criminal history and child abuse checks to financial and medical evaluations, we ensure families are well-prepared. You can choose to review family profiles and meet potential adoptive families to find the best fit for you and your baby.
Support for Your Health and Well-being
Your health and well-being are our priority. We can assist with prenatal and postnatal care, help you access Medicaid or other health insurance, and provide transportation to medical appointments. If needed, the adoptive family can cover pregnancy-related medical expenses. We can also assist with necessary living expenses, such as rent, utilities, and food, in compliance with Utah law.
Flexible Adoption Plans
You have full control over the level of openness in your adoption plan. Whether you prefer a fully open adoption with regular updates and contact, a semi-open arrangement with periodic letters and photos, or a closed adoption with no ongoing communication, we support your decision and ensure it aligns with your comfort level.
Post-Adoption Support
Our commitment to you doesn’t end after placement. We offer ongoing counseling and support to help you process your emotions and adjust to life after adoption. Your well-being remains a top priority for us as you move forward.
