"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 best people in the world to walk through adoption with you.
May 23, 2017
I was 16 years old when i got pregnant with my first child, the next year I got pregnant again. Knowing i couldn't raise two kids I was scared and not sure what to do. I went my whole pregnancy without seeing a doctor and when I went into labor just went to the hospital. I decided a few months before having the child that i wanted her up for adoption to actually give her a life she deserves. i didnt know any resources and the hospital called Lifeline for me. The doctor on duty the next day to come and check on me actually knew a family that was already going through Lifeline to adopt. it took no effort for them to make time in their busy schedule, which was a saturday, to come and make sure me and the child were taken care of. i wouldnt have adoption any other way and so glad these people came into my life. i have an active open adoption and actually meet with my case working as often as possible just to catch up. this is not an adoption agency, but a family!! I thank god every day for letting these people and the adopted family walk into my life!

We loved working with Lifeline Adoption Agency. They are birth- mom centered which is awesome. Lifeline makes sure you're family is well informed of how to honor birth parents and guide adopted kids through different seasons of life. We loved our caseworkers, God had blessed this agency with amazing staff. We are blessed to be apart of Lifelines family.

We adopted a wonderful girl through Lifeline fifteen years ago. I really cannot say anything than the very best in regards to how Lifeline worked with us. My impression at that time was that their basic passion is working with pregnant women; and the work with adoption came out of that commitment. We do not know the identity of the birthmom and did not have any direct contact. We shared much information that was shared with her so she could choose the adoptive family. We then shared information and pictures back for a number of years until the agency could no longer locate her. Lifeline had a foster family who cared for the newborn until the adoption could take place.
We now have a girl who is very proud of what her birthmom did for her; of all the members of the foster family who nurtured her for the first six months and took a ton of pictures; and her forever family. The agency was very flexible and thorough in their work with us and with the out-of-state agency in our area. So much beauty can come out of situations that are often very challenging.
