The best thing to do is to call our 24 hour/7 day a week phone number at 623-695-4112 or our toll-free number, 1-800-340-9665.   We will answer any additional questions you may have and then schedule an appointment with one of our case workers.  We can provide transportation to our office located off the I-17 Access Road and Northern, where we can begin assisting you with your adoption plan.  

All services are free of charge.  

Prior to delivery, we will assist you in developing a Hospital Plan.  You will get to make the following decisions, and we will make sure we give the hospital a copy of your plan so everyone involved in your care knows how you would like your delivery to go:

• When the adoptive parents come to the hospital?
• Who will your support system be at the hospital?
• If the adoptive parents can be in the delivery room?
• Do you want a natural delivery or would you prefer using medication?
• Who will hold the baby first?
• Will the baby stays in your room, the nursery, or in a room with the adoptive family?
• Will you or the adoptive family care for the baby?
• You can allow them to care for the baby, you can do it yourself, or you can all do it together. The baby can stay in your room, the adoptive parents’ room, or the nursery.
• How much time you would like alone with the baby?
• Would you like pictures of you and the baby?
• What would you like discharge from the hospital to look like?

The baby’s father may choose to be part of the adoption plan. He can receive letters and pictures, as well as visits, if he so chooses. The baby’s father may also choose to not be a part of the adoption plan. Either option is fine. We can go over the adoption laws regarding birth fathers in Arizona with you in person so you are fully educated on what his rights may be.

Yes. If you don’t know the father’s identity, we can still help you proceed.

Yes, of course. This is your baby and your adoption plan to create, including choosing the family (if you would like to do so.) We present adoptive family profiles to you based upon your preferences, including: race, family structure, religion, location (in-state or out-of-state), and number of children currently in the home.

All families must be approved to adopt, and the approval process can be very intense. The prospective adoptive family must go through a home study approval process through a licensed adoption agency. A home study includes an FBI check, a state criminal check, a child abuse check, medical exams, an inspection of their home, examination of financial records, and multiple recommendations. In addition, if you chose to, you may meet the family.

Yes you may, and often the adoptive parents may send the same to you.  

Yes. We believe in empowering women. You may choose either open, semi-open, or closed adoption and we can explain both options so you may choose the best option for you and your baby.

Open adoption is choosing the family for your baby, sharing information, and agreeing to ongoing contact throughout the years. This contact may include phone calls, visiting with each other and the child, sharing photos and letters, and/or corresponding via e-mail.

Semi-open adoption is choosing the family for your baby, but the relationship does not include the sharing of identifying information. After the baby has been placed for adoption, many semi-open adoptions include emailing photos and letters between adoptive families and birth families.  

Closed adoption is not choosing a family or having any contact before or after delivery.  

We are a private non-profit agency and not affiliated with a specific church. Many of our staff members are Christians, as well as many of the organizations we work with. We do not have specific requirements regarding religion to work with our agency. To some extent, the focus on secular and Christian values is consistent with biblical ways of thinking, where the issue is never just what one does but how and why it is done. As a social service agency, our list of core values include; remaining non-profit, remaining an agency that provides adoptive and birth families with professional adoption services, and remaining true to what we believe in and know to be true in regards to humanity. Additionally, AZ Pregnancy Help and Building Arizona Families are dedicated to breaking down the barriers and obstacles of adoption and helping every child to find their forever family.
