Homestudy Process Feedback
"The process was very positive and helpful in having us think and explore our personal, social, parenting and spiritual values, and gave us more insight, and made us more prepared for adopting a child"
"The process proved to be very invaluable to us. It was an excellent process that allowed us to explore our values and to reinforce our focus and goals and aspirations. It is always beneficial to be posed certain questions and situations to see how they are reacted to or handled. We learned a lot during the process and we believe it made us better people and better parents."
Birth Mothers
"I had an unplanned pregnancy which led to months of confusion, denial, and grief. The most important thing through the whole process is making the decisions that let you, the mother, be the most comfortable. So it was wonderful to find people at CHOICES who were really there to help me. My sleep pattern improved, I stopped crying, and I became self-sufficient again. Physically, the pregnancy got harder, but having reliable, supportive help made it easier. I found a wonderful adoptive family through CHOICES and have an open adoption, which means I will be involved in the baby's life. The best part of the pregnancy was knowing that I could ask for help and it would be there. I gained a new family and new friends, too."

"CHOICES provided me with truly exceptional support throughout my pregnancy and afterward as well. Not only did they help make this process easier for me, but through the counselling they provided, I learned a lot about myself and gained new awareness. I will always be truly grateful for all that CHOICES has provided to me."
