Birth Choice Adoption Services
Where Hope and Healing Meet
Our Vision
At Birth Choice, we believe adoption is a sacred calling; a reflection of God’s heart that connects children in need of a loving home with families ready to embrace them. Our mission is to walk alongside both birth parents and adoptive parents with compassion, transparency, and Christ-centered care.
We are committed to:
- Serving with integrity, prayer, and grace.
- Creating a safe and supportive space for birth parents to make informed choices.
- Equipping adoptive families to be prepared for the lifelong journey of parenting.
- Honoring the dignity, value, and sanctity of every child’s life.
Adoption is a Journey for All Three
In adoption, there are three deeply connected parts known as the adoption triad:
- Birth Parent(s): Walking a courageous and selfless path of love.
- Baby/Adoptee: Beginning life with a story already woven by God’s hand.
- Adoptive Parents: Stepping forward with open hearts and a calling to surrender.
It’s important to remember that the birth mother is not the only one surrendering. Prospective adoptive parents are also called to surrender control over the “where,” “who,” “what,” and all the details of the process, trusting God’s perfect plan.
The first steps for every adoptive couple should be prayer and surrender to the Lord’s leading, asking Him to guide each decision rather than trying to simply “choose” for themselves. This trust allows the story to unfold according to His will, not ours.
A powerful prayer: Ask the Lord that, if He is calling you to adopt, He brings you to your child and your child to you. We have seen Him move Heaven and earth to answer this prayer.
Our Commitment to the Journey
At Birth Choice Adoption Services, we believe no one in the adoption triad should walk this path alone. Whether you are an expectant mother making the most selfless decision of your life, an adoptive family waiting in faith, or an adoptee learning their story; you matter to us, and we are here for you.
We commit to:
- Walking with you in prayer and compassion.
- Providing guidance rooted in God’s Word.
- Remaining a resource for you long after placement.
- Supporting healing for all sides of the triad.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
This is more than an agency. This is a ministry where hope and healing meet. where God writes stories that only He can author.
