Help for Birth Mothers in North Carolina

What Kind of Help Do Birth Mothers Get in North Carolina?

North Carolina law lets us help birth mothers with expenses. We help pay for things you need during pregnancy, and we follow all state rules.

Here’s what this means: We can’t pay you to place your baby for adoption, but we can help pay for things you need because you’re pregnant.

Who Can Get Help?

We help the birth mother directly. If you live with someone else, they should help pay for things too.

How Long Do We Help?

We help pay for things until after your baby is born and you’ve recovered from birth.

At Heart to Heart Adoptions in North Carolina, we help connect birth mothers with loving families. We make sure everyone gets the support they need—especially you, the birth mother.

Testimonial from Brittany - Fayetteville, NC

“Being a birth mother in North Carolina was scary, but Heart to Heart Adoptions gave me so much help. They paid for my maternity clothes, helped with my rent, and gave me a food card so I could eat healthy during pregnancy. When I needed rides to doctor appointments, they helped with transportation. They even paid for babysitting for my other kid when I had appointments. The help for birth mothers lasted until after I had the baby and recovered. They followed all the North Carolina laws and made sure I understood what help I could get. I don’t know what I would have done without their support.”
