Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children is licensed by the Kentucky Cabinet for Families and Children and has provided services to families since 1869. Services For Birth Parents KBHC service coordinators offer information and emotional support to enable a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy to make positive choices regarding her child. Individuals who make the choice to parent are assisted with referrals, information, and emotional support to help them prepare for the new life that will be arriving. Those who make the difficult decision that they can best show love to their child by selecting a loving adoptive home are assisted throughout the adoption process. KBHC will do an open or closed adoption depending on the birth parents' preference.
Birth parents assist in the selection of an adoptive family.
Follow-up services continue to be provided to birth parents after the adoption is finalized, when desired. Periodic group meetings are held to help those interested learn about adoption resources. KBHC service coordinators help families understand the different types of adoptions and provide guidance throughout the adoption process. Prospective families prepare family albums to help birth parents know what kind of family life their child will have. Families may meet the birth parent prior to the child's birth and may be able to be present at the hospital when the child is born.
