"Lifeline Children's Services is a non-profit organization that offers compassionate care and support to vulnerable children, families, and expectant mothers. We provide a variety of services, including adoption, foster care, counseling, and education. We also offer pregnancy counseling to expectant mothers who are facing difficult decisions. Our trained counselors provide guidance and support to help expectant mothers make informed choices about their future and the future of their child.
We know that as Christians, we have all been adopted by our Heavenly Father. Adoption is a beautiful picture of the gospel on earth that points us back toward Christ. In Psalm 68, David tells us that God sets the lonely in families. We want the children we serve to have forever families, but more than that, we want them to know the truth of the gospel.
Our focus remains on an eternity with Christ for the child and the parent, and we believe a gospel-centered family is an amazing window to their salvation. Our desire is to come alongside Christian missional families with resources they will need to find and nurture their children, as they become disciples who make disciples.
We welcome you to explore our services and learn more about our organization. Contact us today to see how we can help you or someone you know."

My ex wife gave my daughter up behind my back that was conceived in marriage Alabama state law for legal adoption is both parents must be there if married or divorced and the child is born within 300 days. My ex wide social worker knew we was married and knew we divorced Dec 16my daughter was born Jan 2022 and is only a few weeks old I haven't seen her gekd or nothing these people literally took my baby from me with no say so or anything to me knowing I am the father. My daughter is placed already with a family when I never had the chance to hold her have yet to get a petition or anything.

We adopted our daughter domestically with Lifeline. They were a WONDERFUL partner along this hard, but special journey. Their entire team was always kind, responsive and patient with us. Our birth mom told us how much she loved her social worker and the sweet relationship they formed. I would definitely recommend Life to any birth mom in need of support and any family looking to adopt.

We highly recommend Lifeline! We have spent much time at their Birmingham headquarters, and are impressed continually by their genuine love and care for their families and staff, as well as outside organizations such as ours. We are grateful for their gospel-focus and how they are strong supporters of family preservation as well as Adoption. We can’t say enough about this wonderful organization which we embrace not only as a partner in ministry and work, but truly as family to us. Thank you, Lifeline.. for all the “little things” you do that are making a BIG impact near and far.

The Lifeline pregnancy counselors are always willing to go above and beyond what is required in meeting with moms and helping them make an adoption plan or a plan to parent themselves. There is no pressure on the moms only love and support.

Lifeline has had a positive impact on staff and clients at Positive Choices when it comes to adoption planning services. They have always been available, compassionate, trustworthy, and provide resources and referrals at such a critical time in the life of a woman. Lauren Eddie goes the extra mile to answer questions and provide resources needed as women face tough decisions about parenting or adoption. As an adoptive parent finding an agency that is trustworthy and reliable is the first step in adoption planning and Lifeline ranks top of my list in these areas and I highly recommend them as a resource for adoption planning.
