Teen Pregnancy Care Foster Home
The home is set up like dorm rooms and each mom will have her own space for her and her child. We will provide her resources and tools to not only take care of her and her child’s physical needs but their emotional and spiritual needs as well. The young moms will be allowed to stay in the home as long as she is actively parenting and following the rules. Right now, we will only provide this service for expectant teens presently in foster care.
How can I help?
Helping shape the lives of young teen parents can stop the generational cycle of foster care. There are many ways that you can play a part in changing both the teen mom and the baby’s future.
Consider these questions and email us at [email protected] if you’re interested.
