Choosing adoption for your unborn baby is a difficult decision to make, and you probably have many questions as you’re researching your unplanned pregnancy options. While there is plenty of useful information available on the internet, sometimes prospective birth mothers need to talk to an experienced counselor about their feelings and concerns — which is why A Child’s Hope strives to provide 24-hour adoption support in North Carolina, absolutely for free and with no obligation.
We understand that everyone is different, and the mode of communication that works for one prospective birth mother may not be comfortable for another. To provide you the 24/7 adoption support you want, we have several ways that you contact our agency at any time of the day:
Our Adoption Hotline: 1-877-890-4673
Via text message: 919-971-4396

Through our online form
Para Español: Envia un texto (919-218-6270) o envíenos un correo electrónico (ach@achildshope.com)
When you contact us via phone, you will be connected to our friendly hotline operator. She will answer your basic questions about adoption, learn more about you and connect you to a local adoption counselor through our agency. This will become your counselor throughout your adoption process, if you decide that adoption is right for you.
Our helpful adoption counselors can guide you through every step of your adoption process.
Even if you’re still unsure about adoption and looking for 24/7 adoption agency support, the counselors at A Child’s Hope can help. After a counselor contacts you by phone or text based on your preferences, she will meet you in person wherever you’re most comfortable to talk more in depth about your unplanned pregnancy options, if adoption is right for you and what your adoption process may look like. You can contact your counselor any time for 24-hour free adoption agency support in North Carolina, and she will do her best to answer your questions as thoroughly and as quickly as possible in whatever method of communication you prefer.
