Embrace Grace is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of providing emotional, practical and spiritual support for single, young women who find themselves in an unintended pregnancy. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower churches across the nation to be a safe and non-judging place for the girls to run to when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt.
Their vision is for every girl with an unplanned pregnancy to have a church to go to for spiritual, emotional and physical support. Their mission is to inspire and equip the church to love on single and pregnant young women and their families.
ADOPTION

Legacy Adoptions Services commits to create loving, traditional families, treating each person with compassion, professionalism and respect. They are a faith-based agency that believes each family is designed by God. They build a bridge between a birth family with an unintended pregnancy and an adoring adoptive family.
