Pregnant Women in Need of Help May Qualify for Financial Assistance

Talk to someone today and start receiving help with rent, groceries, transportation, and medical care — all at no cost to you.

If you’re exploring adoption as an expectant mother in Michigan, you may be able to receive financial assistance to help ease the pressure of day-to-day expenses. This kind of support is never considered "payment" — it’s legal, ethical, and designed to give you room to breathe while you make the best possible decisions for yourself and your child.

You could receive help with:

• Rent and utility bills to keep you in a safe, stable home
• Groceries and daily essentials to support your well-being
• Rides to medical appointments and important errands
• Maternity clothing so you feel comfortable and prepared
• Hospital and prenatal care costs
• Legal support to protect your rights

This support isn’t just financial — it’s emotional. It gives you space to rest, breathe, and figure out what’s best for you. And if you’re in an unsafe living situation, we may be able to help you find emergency housing and connect you with local safety resources.

Understanding Michigan Adoption

In Michigan, financial assistance for birth mothers is protected and legal. Each state has different rules, but here in Michigan, we can help you access meaningful support throughout your pregnancy and adoption journey. Our agency is deeply familiar with Michigan laws and will manage every detail so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

You’ll have a local, experienced team working for you — people who know the system, care about your well-being, and are committed to making sure you’re informed, supported, and never left in the dark.

What Happens When You Reach Out?

Do you feel like you’re out of options? Let’s talk through what’s possible.

You don’t have to know all the answers before contacting us. When you call, you’ll talk to a real person — not a recording. We’ll listen to your story, walk you through your options, and offer guidance that fits your life. If you choose to move forward, we can begin offering financial support quickly, sometimes that same day, depending on your needs and eligibility. Everything is confidential, and there’s no pressure to commit.

If you’re in an Unsafe Situation

If you’re in an unsafe or abusive environment, please know you are not alone — and you can still get help. Your safety, and the safety of your child, is incredibly important. We can assist you in finding safe housing, connecting with trusted local services, and creating a plan that prioritizes your well-being and your baby's future. 

For immediate, confidential help, you can call us at 1-800-ADOPTION or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

What Happens After Adoption?

Placing your baby for adoption is a big, emotional decision — and it's natural to wonder what comes after. Many birth parents feel uncertain or alone, which is why our support continues beyond placement.

We offer ongoing, no-cost counseling to help you process emotions and heal at your own pace. If you choose open adoption, you may stay in touch with your child and the adoptive family through updates, photos, or visits — based on what feels right to you.

No matter what the future holds, you’ll never be without support. We're still here, whenever you need us.

Adoption is Always Free for Birth Mothers in Michigan

You don’t have to wait to get help — financial and emotional support could begin today.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m pregnant and need help with money” — this might be the most important thing you read today: adoption is 100% free for you. There are no costs, no hidden fees, and no obligations. Even if you’re unsure about adoption, reaching out can connect you with the resources and support you deserve.

Our services include:

• 24/7 emotional counseling: Someone is always available to listen, support you, and help you process whatever you're going through — even if you’re just thinking through your options.
• Legal guidance and representation: You’ll work with an attorney who’s there for you — not the agency — to explain your rights and help you make confident, informed choices.
• Complete prenatal and delivery care: All your pregnancy-related medical expenses, including doctor visits, medications, and hospital stays, are fully covered.
• Reliable transportation: We’ll help make sure you can safely get to appointments, counseling sessions, or other important places.
• Post-placement support: After placement, we continue to offer emotional support as you heal, reflect, and move forward — in your own time, in your own way.

If you change your mind at any point, that’s okay, too. This is your choice, and we’ll support you with compassion, no matter what you decide.

What You Can Expect From Our Michigan Adoption Agency

Every pregnancy journey is different — and yours deserves care that’s as unique as you are. That’s why we take a thoughtful, personalized approach to every woman we support.

From the moment you reach out, you’ll be paired with someone who truly listens and is here for you at every turn. You’ll have access to caring, one-on-one support, and we’ll help you create an adoption plan that feels right to you.

Your legal rights matter, too. That’s why you’ll have a dedicated advocate to guide you through the process and make sure you always feel confident and informed. We’ll also coordinate with nearby hospitals to ensure your birth plan reflects your preferences and comfort.

You’ll be able to explore a wide range of loving, pre-screened adoptive families — and choose the one you feel is right for your child. And after placement, we’re still here — offering emotional and practical support for as long as you need it.

This journey is yours. We're just here to make sure you feel supported, respected, and never alone.
