“When I was introduced to New Life a little over a year ago I didn't know what to expect. I had just given birth and was lost. I knew that I couldn't take care of my baby alone and that I wanted the best for him, even if I wasn't the one that would give him that. All I knew was I wanted him to be cared for, loved, and I wanted him to have the best of everything. I knew that I wouldn't be able to give him that. That's when I was introduced to New Life. The day after I had given birth I met the New Life staff and they helped me through everything. She made me feel at ease and reassured me that I would be able to have contact with my baby through open adoption. And now after a year I still can't imagine a better place to turn to when I needed help the most. Not only am I happy about seeing my son grow to be loved and cared for but I also love seeing my new extended family grow as well. I really couldn't ask for a better happy ending.”

“My experience with new life was great!  I was welcomed with open arms and I was encouraged.  My fondest memory is when Cindy gave me the first glimpse of my unborn child on ultrasound.  It was hard to choose that memory as my fondest because there are so many to choose from.  I really loved being a part of a community, they have a support group meeting on the first Wednesday of every month.   Even if I chose not so say much during a group, I found safety in knowing I wasn't alone.   Cindy and Sara have such a beautiful vulnerability, you can't help but join in and grow.   New Life really does inspire life.”

“I love New Life! There is absolutely nothing that I would have done differently, from picking New Life, to picking the family. Everything turned out beautifully.  It was the hardest decision that I have ever made, but looking back it was also the best decision that I have ever made.  At the time, I thought that I would never be able to recover, but that was definitely not the case.  Everyone at New Life was so loving and gracious!  I also love the idea of open adoptions, although I was terrified of that idea at first.  Overall, New Life and my adoption was an incredibly positive experience.  I could not be happier with the experience.”
