Birthfathers Matter
Birthfathers have an important role in their children’s lives. We welcome and encourage father participation in pregnancy options counseling and our open adoption program. All services Open Adoption & Family Services (OA&FS) offers to birthmothers are available to birthfathers.
We understand that there may be circumstances that make you feel hesitant about participating during pregnancy options counseling and in adoption planning. Because we value birthfather involvement, we are committed to creating an environment that respects you and the birthmother. Birthparents can participate together in a shared counseling session or they can each meet with their counselor individually if that feels more comfortable.
