Yes. All of our services are confidential. Appointments can be scheduled at our office, in your home, or in another community location that is convenient and comfortable for you.
How much will this cost?
Our services are provided free of charge. If you decide to place your baby for adoption, you may be eligible to receive help with prenatal care and other expenses.
Does the father of my baby have to be involved?
Regardless of the relationship you have with the birth father, our experienced staff can provide you with information about your options and offer support throughout your pregnancy.
Do I need my parents’ permission to receive services?
No, you do not. Your decision to receive services is a private one that does not require your parents’ permission.

No, you do not. Over 80% of the clients that we serve are not Lutheran. Services are open to everyone regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religion, or gender.
I do not live in a metropolitan city or large town. Can I still receive help?
