OUR DISTINCTIVES
One-on-one care giving
- A trained, volunteer Birthmothers Friend provides material,
emotional and spiritual resources to each expectant birth mom
that seeks our assistance.
- In this special, personal relationship, the Friend offers
consistent encouragement by her presence, support and committed
prayers, so that the pregnant woman can make informed, life-affirming
decisions for herself and her unborn child.
Unconditional acceptance
- Birthmothers is nondenominational, nonpartisan, nonprofit
and nonjudgmental.
- We provide unconditional love and compassionate, nonjudgmental
assistance free of charge to any pregnant woman who seeks our
help – regardless of her age, religious commitment, political
ideology, economic, social and marital status.
- While we do not directly or indirectly support abortion, we
will stay in relationship with any woman who seeks our support
following an abortion – to help her heal.
Evangelical outreach
- We aim to reflect God’s grace to each woman as we serve
her.
- It is our hope that, through our ministry, she experiences
God’s love first hand, grows in the knowledge of our Lord
and learns to seek Him in all circumstances.
Life-affirming adoption information
- Birthmothers believes that all life is a gift from God, and
all who receive His welcoming, adoptive and reconciling love
can have the joy of eternal life.
- We are committed to providing life-affirming resources about
adoption options, so that both human families and the Church
can together experience the joy adoption brings.
Church-based ministry
- Birthmothers believes that God has ordained the Church as
the primary instrument of His reconciling, adoptive love.
- We work within individual congregations to raise up volunteer
Friends, support them with prayer, give them guidance, offer
them encouragement and provide them with material resources
so they can minister effectively to women.
Broad resource network
- Birthmothers works together with churches, faith-based agencies
and social services providers to build a web of resources for
pregnant women.
- Our partners include (but are not limited to) pregnancy care
centers (CPCs), adoption agencies, private adoption attorneys,
counselors, medical professionals, housing and transportation
resources, cross-cultural and government services.
