Michelle or Wendy usually answers the phone when you call. They’ll listen to your story so they understand your unique situation. Both of these women have worked with women in unexpected pregnancies for a long time.
Isabella, who lives in the Pocono Mountains, called when her baby was ten days old. She was overwhelmed and had no help. She was struggling with addiction and wanted her tiny child to have a stable place. Michelle answered her call and connected her with Kathy.

- Which family will raise your baby

- What happens at the hospital
Your case manager will explain everything in simple terms and make sure you understand your rights and choices.
Even after placement, you’ll still have support. Our counselors and case managers will stay in touch for as long as you need. Many women say the emotional care they received after placement helped them heal and find peace.
