PREGNANT & CONSIDERING ADOPTION

ADOPTION PLANS

Making an adoption plan for one’s baby may be one of the greatest gifts a mother is able to give her child. At Illini Christian Ministries, it is our goal to assist women in learning about the life-giving options available to them, including adoption. We walk alongside the women and support them as they work through their pregnancy and towards an adoption plan.
