Expectant Parent Services

The Cradle's services to expectant parents serve all of Illinois and Indiana, offering free, non-judgmental, and confidential support to people experiencing an unplanned pregnancy or adjusting to life with a newborn. Their experienced counselors provide information, resources, and support to empower people to decide what is best for themselves, their children, and their families. Compassionate counselors help expectant parents and new parents explore all of their options, including adoption, recognizing that everyone's situation is different. In the event that parents choose an adoption plan for their child, their counselor will walk them through the process, including choosing and meeting a family. It doesn't matter how far along you are-it's never too early or too late to reach out. When ready, The Cradle can set up a time for individuals to meet with one of their counselors at a place convenient. Call the 24-hour toll-free number to speak to a Cradle counselor: 800-CRADLE4 (800-272-3534).
