OA&FS Statement Regarding Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Because pregnant people’s options are now more limited due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, access to unbiased all-options pregnancy counseling is critical. Providing this service is central to OA&FS’ mission. We will continue assisting people in making informed decisions about their pregnancy and accessing the resources they need for whichever pregnancy decision they make: abortion, parenting, or adoption.

We're hiring!

OA&FS is filling a full-time Counselor position and a part-time Outreach Coordinator & Administrative Assistant in our Seattle office. See job descriptions, qualifications and application instructions.

We give absolute equality to parenting, abortion and adoption. Our focus is on personal choice.

Open Adoptee Brianna's quote - Open adoption is a great thing that not a lot of people know is even an option. It is a great way to give your child the life they deserve and still be a part of their life.
