“If I’d had
someone stand with me — a friend, my family, anyone —
I
would have carried my baby to term. But I didn’t.”
83% of women who struggle after an abortion
say they would have changed their decision if they’d had
support from a partner, family member or special person during
pregnancy.
You can be a Friend. You can show you care.
BIRTHMOTHERS®
One of life’s most frightening scenarios is finding out
you’re pregnant when you didn’t plan to be. And much
of the time, a woman faces that alone.
She doesn’t have to.
At Birthmothers, we train volunteer Friends to walk one-on-one
with a woman in an unplanned pregnancy. A Friend provides a listening
ear … unconditional acceptance … a shoulder to cry
on. Emotional and spiritual support.
Put simply, you can be someone
who cares.
We believe that Jesus Christ calls us to be His hands and feet
to women and families in crisis. Because a Friend loves at all
times.
When you become a Friend, Birthmothers will be right beside you.
- We’ll train you — or a group from your church
at your convenience. At no cost.
- We’ll show you what to do when your birth mom needs
to apply for Medicaid … find a doctor … get legal
assistance … explore adoption options … locate housing.
You don’t need any previous professional experience.
- We’re here when you need us to answer your calls and
provide the information you need to be a Friend.
Maybe you can’t become a Friend now, but you want to help
in other ways. We’ll show you how.
Birthmothers complements the
outstanding services pregnancy resource centers (CPCs) offer.
- You’ll give a pregnant woman ongoing, personal support.
- You’ll meet with her when it fits your schedule and
where it suits you.
- You’ll give her access to our varied network of resources.
- You can’t change her circumstances … but you
can be her Friend.
We’ll help.
