AFTH Comments on Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court Ruling
There are some adoption agencies and attorneys celebrating the Supreme Court’s decision as they anticipate an increase in the number of pregnant people who will now feel they have no other option; AFTH is not among them. We strongly believe that body autonomy is a right that every expecting parent should have and that they should have the right to make these very personal life-altering decisions without input from the government.
AFTH is still committed to choice and will provide resources and educate expecting parents about all their legal options to help them make informed decisions that they alone should be able to make. Read our full statement here

Testimonials From Women We Have Helped
“Obviously this situation wasn’t one I saw myself being in when I was only 19 years old, but, wishful thinking aside, I was, and it will be something I remember forever. I called various adoption agencies and Adoptions From The Heart seemed a lot more friendly and open and more willing to talk to me even if I hadn’t pledged my loyalty to their services. It helped a lot to know that I didn’t have to take care of everything by myself. I appreciate all the help and guidance you’ve given me and I wish that everyone’s adoption experience could be as comforting as mine was (thanks to you and your staff). The work you do and the effort you put in is fantastic and really admirable. Thank you again for everything.” – Samantha
“I can’t even begin to thank you for everything you have done for me. I could never have done anything without you. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.” – Theriese (letter to an AFTH social worker)
“Thank you so much for everything. You guys are a true blessing to me and my daughter.” – Michelle (Birth mother aided by the donation fund)
