Boys & Girls Aid
The Boys & Girls Aid staff became my lifeline. They didn’t question any of my decisions, they welcomed my calls at all hours of the day and night, and not once did I feel judged about my circumstances, or pushed in any direction. —Alana
Providing For Your Needs Anyone can find themselves faced with an unintended pregnancy. We believe that it is important for you to know about all of your options, whether you decide to make a parenting plan, an adoption plan or a termination plan. Our compassionate clinicians will help you explore your options and how to move forward.
Being able to see my child with the adoptive family, watching him change and grow, made all the difference. I knew I made the right decision. —Jasmine
If You Choose Adoption
Building Connections
We will respect and support your needs and privacy throughout this process. The information you share will be held in confidence as we help you make an adoption plan. All families who enter into our adoption program are thoroughly screened, assessed for safety and committed to openness. You will have the opportunity to learn more about our pool of adoptive families, which will play an integral role in making your decision.
Part of choosing an adoptive family includes choosing the level of openness. While we encourage openness in adoptions, each birthparent may decide how much and what kind of contact they will have with the adoptive family and their child. Depending on the level of openness you have agreed upon with the adoptive family, our team is here to help you arrange and maintain contact for the years to come. Through our post adoption services, you will have assistance with letter and photo exchanges and arrangements for family visits. Birthfathers are an important part of the decision making process and we value and support a birthfathers role. When the choice is adoption, we encourage both birthparents to participate in openness. We also understand that no two relationships look alike and can provide support regardless of the birthfathers level of involvement.
Individualized Services Our services to all birthparents are confidential and individualized based on your needs and may include help with medical expenses, rent, utilities, food, clothing and transportation. Our non-coercive and non-judgmental clinicians will assess each birthparent and work with him or her to determine what services may apply.
