Check out this great organization. It is non profit. This organization has a crisis hotline for birthmothers and offers full support to them whether they place their baby for adoption or keep their baby.
Taken from their website:
Project Cuddle® is the result of one woman's crusade to help prevent infants from being abandoned. Debbe Magnusen fostered over 30 drug-exposed babies, while raising two biological children. Eventually five of those beautiful little ones were adopted and became part of the Magnusen Family.
Statistics indicate that 57 children are abandoned everyday. Tragically, babies are being abandoned across the nation on a daily basis. Since its inception, Project Cuddle® has saved over 600 of babies across the country and into Canada from the fate of being abandoned, or worse. John Stamos in the National Spokesperson for the organization. With John's help, the charity has been able to create a school video to educate students on the importance of calling for help instead of abandoning your baby. Oprah and John Surprised Debbe and Project Cuddle® by being featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
To have your profile shown to birthparents you need to become a "Rescue Family". Just go to their website projectcuddle.org fill out the application to be a "Rescue Family", it's a 3 page application (nothing compared to all the other paperwork for adoption), send it in with a 3 x 5 color photo, dear birthparent letter and a completed homestudy. They will start showing your profile to birthparents and it's totally FREE!
