Dallas or Bust! CAFO is May 9-11 !

Heading out to CAFO2018!
Preparing now for Panel Workshop & our Coaching Table

I'm excited to again participate in the Christian Alliance For Orphans Summit, May 9-11 in Dallas.
I'll be co-moderating a panel called "Understanding the Life and Heart of a Birth Mother". Our goal is to help people to understand the thinking behind a woman's decision to place her baby for adoption. I'll also have a Coaching Table breakout session there about the daily reality of living an open adoption.

Learn more and register for the Conference.

Why Our Kids' Birth Mothers Are Part of Our Lives

It's only made our family bigger and closer.
You can read the story here.

Do you have contacts at your local high school or junior high?

We at Unplanned Good do go out and speak to students, especially at the beginning of the school year. This is vital to get the option on their radar. Please call or email me if your school can invite us to speak to the kids.

This is how we will change our society so that more women facing unplanned pregnancy choose adoption.

It's up to us.

Why are we doing this?
Young women are 50% MORE likely to make an adoption plan when the trusted adult in their life suggests it to them. Otherwise, most girls don't give it a thought, and choose between abortion or single parenting. That's why we need to get this on the radar of more people.

About Unplanned Good

We promote adoption as a positive option for those facing unplanned pregnancies. It can be so very good (and beautiful!) for all involved.

Unplanned Good is reaching out to both teens and their parents, to let them know that adoption is an option. Studies have shown that girls are 50% more likely to see their pregnancy through and make an adoption plan when an adult suggests this path.

Please visit our site, and encourage others to see it. Read the encouraging, heartfelt stories there. Send in your own story, and ask a friend to do the same.
