Choose Life of North Alabama can answer your questions regarding lovingly placing your baby for adoption and offer you support as you make your decisions. Adoption is a positive choice for women, their children, and their families. We are not a licensed adoption agency but we do refer our clients to well-respected agencies here in Alabama. We help the client consider adoption, answer questions, and refer to the right people. We also offer peer support and counseling so that our clients will not feel alone when making such an important choice.

Choose Life also offers training on how to counsel adoption to other agencies that regularly work with pregnant women. We have a staff member trained through the Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program (IAATP) who can organize a one-day adoption liaison training for your organization. In 2000, the United States Congress recognized the tremendous need to provide accurate, complete, and current adoption information to pregnant women facing unintended pregnancies. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services then awarded a grant to the National Council for Adoption who implemented the Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program.

In Alabama, there are approximately 20,000 live births to unmarried women each year, 14,000 pregnancy terminations, and 250 infants placed for adoption (Adoption Factbook III, National Council for Adoption).
