Loving
Alternative adoption ministry provides individual counseling and
compassionate friendship for any mother that chooses adoption or
is considering it. It is located in Tyler, separate from the Maternity
Home, thus ensuring that residents don't feel pressured to place
their child for adoption.
Loving Alternative's
ministry to the birth parent does not end at placement. It continues
through the time when she grieves the separation of her child. The
birth mother receives pictures, letters and updates from the adoptive
family (exchanged through the agency) which provides her the assurance
of knowing that her baby is healthy, happy and much loved. Adoption
is a loving and self-sacrificial choice that a birthmother, birthfather
and/or birth families make to ensure that their child has a stable
and secure two-parent Christian family to grow up in. |
