Almost as soon as Christian Homes began operating, it discovered and began responding to a desperate need for maternity care for young women with unplanned pregnancies. For more than 40 years, we have provided residential and community-based care for young women with unplanned pregnancies. Most often, the care culminates in the agency finding loving parents to adopt their precious babies. When a young woman with an unplanned pregnancy reaches out to Christian Homes for maternity care, our goal is that through the ministry, her life, as well as the life of her child, will be transformed. We arrange for her housing, either in our comfortable apartments in Abilene or in her hometown, and we also provide her food, clothing, medical care, legal services, moral support, counseling, and if needed, foster care for her newborn. For young children who have been removed by the State from the home they likely shared with biological parents or relatives but where they were abused or neglected, our goal is that a Christian Homes & Family Services foster family will be the last foster home they ever need. Our ministry is to identify, train, and prepare loving, Christian couples to welcome young foster children into their home and to ultimately make them a forever member of their family through adoption. Since 1962 we have placed more than 1650 precious babies and children into loving adoptive homes, provided maternity care for more than 2200 women, and cared for 1325 foster children.
