Gifts of Grace Adoption Support Center

OVERVIEW

Gifts of Grace Adoption Support Center is a non-profit adoption agency based in Lafayette, Indiana. Gifts of Grace Adoption Support Center exists to provide high-quality, Christ-centered and affordable adoption services, in order to support birth families, create thriving adoptive families and ensure that all children attain a permanent home at the youngest possible age.

Services for Expectant Mothers:

Many women facing unplanned pregnancies simply cannot or will not choose to parent. We want these women to know that adoption is an option. We also deeply desire for the women who bravely choose life and adoption for their children to feel supported throughout their pregnancy and the adoption process. We know that, although all adoption involves some amount of sadness and loss, there can be dignity and joy in the process. We want our birth mothers to feel a sense of hope as they walk through their adoption journey. There is never any pressure or commitment as they gather information. All services are free to those exploring adoption as an option and those who go on to lovingly place their child.
