“I’m Pregnant and thinking of Placing my Child for Adoption. Can You Help Me?"

We are here to support you before and after your baby is born, regardless of your decision.

Friends in Adoption (FIA) is a non-profit, licensed adoption agency. We can help pregnant women considering adoption for their unborn baby with free resources, information, counseling, and living expenses as allowed by the law. FIA will never pressure a pregnant individual into making a decision. We will guide them about their options and the adoption process, but the final decision is theirs to make.
