Welcome
Thank you for considering adoption.  An unplanned pregnancy presents life-changing decisions.  We are here to help you evaluate your choices and to help you gather information to assist you in making your decision.  It is normal to feel confused and scared but we can help by offering you free and confidential counseling to discuss your options of parenting or choosing an adoption plan for your baby. 

Our goal is to offer you support and education so that you look at all of your options before you decide what is best for you and your baby.  You will not be pressured into choosing an adoption plan or parenting your child.  We believe it is YOUR CHOICE!  We only want to help get you information so you can make the best choice for everyone involved.  Please email us at nhaa@bevcomm.net or call (507) 526-3518 to talk to a Counselor.

Services
New Horizons has licensed social workers throughout Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota that are available to meet with you.  Counseling will be focused on the areas that you believe you need assistance.  We will share with you the types of adoption that are available, the legal aspects, your rights as a birth parent and the adoption process in general.  Much of the counseling will consist of discussing your wishes, fears and concerns.  The counseling may also consist of determining what resources you may be eligible to receive such as medical insurance, assistance in living arrangements, WIC, heat assistance, parenting classes, daycare assistance, etc.
