When a woman has an unexpected pregnancy, she often doesn’t even consider adoption due to common misconceptions, like believing it means abandonment or unending foster care for her child. Instead, she may think she only has two choices: parenting or abortion.
Through the Stand For Life and Lifeline Children’s Services Adoption Counseling Course, you can become equipped and empowered to present life-affirming options to mothers with an unexpected pregnancy.
