With free supportive counseling from Lutheran Social Services of the Miami Valley, you can find the answers that help you make the best decisions for you and your baby. Counseling is provided with strict confidentiality through either office or home visits. Free supportive counseling helps you explore your choices, find referrals for proper prenatal care, address your financial needs, and support communication with your family. There's no way around it. Children need families to help them grow.
Families provide an important sense of personal history, a sense of belonging.
They provide continuity and strength to help us weather the storms of life. Being a child without a family to which to belong is unthinkable for most of us. Yet at Montgomery County Children Services more than 70 children are in just this situation. Permanently separated from their birth families through no fault of their own, these children wait in temporary foster homes for adoptive families to come forward for them. And while families have come forward for children, it has simply not been enough.
