"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."

The hearts of the people at Lifeline are genuine, kind, and compassionate. They care about each person, whether it's a woman considering her pregnancy options or a family calling about adoption. They act with integrity and empathy. Highly recommend.

truly care for the women considering adoption and the families who are waiting

Lifeline is birth mother focused and they work with adoptive families prior to adoption to insure that they are birth mother focused. The goal at Lifeline is not adoption. I know that first hand. I know there are agencies that do not operate like this and that breaks my heart for the women that are not presented with truth. Lifeline reaches out and has community for all birthmothers, not just birthmothers who placed with Lifeline. This alone speaks to their heart for birthmothers. I am so thankful for this non-profit organization who loves adoptive families and birthmoms enough to give them truth, love and support.

As a grandmother of an infant surrendered in a private adoption ( not Lifeline) , a word of caution applies to all. We did visit and talk to staff at Lifeline. The grief of surrendering a child lasts a lifetime. Every birth mother should be informed of gravity of the 5 day rule involved in the adoption process. This information and the grief involved were not emphasized when we came to Lifeline or outside attorneys. It should be emphasized to every single birth mother.. Beware. Beverly H. Conway
