Prenatal Partners for Life is a group of concerned parents (most of whom have or had a special needs child), medical professionals, legal professionals and clergy whose aim is to support, inform and encourage expectant or new parents.

We offer support by connecting parents facing an adverse diagnosis (for example, Downs Syndrome, Trisomy 18, Anacephaly) with other parents who have had the same diagnosis. We have many resources such as adoption agencies with clients waiting to adopt and love a special needs child should a parent feel they could not care for them.

We provide bereavement support including financial aid for funeral costs and markers should a beloved child not survive long after birth. We also provide education and support for those in the medical community who are charged with the care of these "extra special" needs children.

We believe each child is a special gift ... and there must be an alternative to abortion and infanticide.

 
What Should I Say (and NOT Say) To My Teen? PDF Print E-mail

Ask yourself for a moment what evokes a more negative reaction most of the time in families:

the knowledge that a teen is sexually active,

or the knowledge that a teen has become pregnant?

If, in one way or another, the message is communicated that teen pregnancy will cause more of a problem than teen sex, then we are inadvertently creating an incentive for abortion.

After all, if one can abort the pregnancy without the family's knowledge, why endure the trouble that will result by revealing it?

Parents need to fearlessly make it clear that our goal is to encourage sexual abstinence (chastity), not to punish pregnancy. [PFL, May-June 2002]
