Birth Parent Counseling

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming. There are so many feelings and so many questions to ask yourself. At Children’s Friend, we have a lot of experience working with birth parents who are asking themselves questions like:

Am I ready to be a parent?

What are my choices?

Who will be there for me?

If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, we can help you find answers to your questions. Our sensitive, caring counselors provide individual help so that you can evaluate your options and choose what is best for you and your child. Our counselors can also provide help for fathers and other family members who are involved.

If you are worried about the reactions your family and/or your partner will have to your pregnancy, we can help. If you decide to place your child for adoption, we will help you find peace of mind, knowing that your baby is well cared for and safe. If you decide to parent your child, we will help you to prepare for the birth and the new challenges you will face as a parent. We will also link you to a range of resources in the community.
