If money was one of your first thoughts after finding out you were pregnant, you may already be calculating the cost of medical appointments, rent, diapers, childcare, and everything a baby needs.
Those expenses can add up, but your current income does not necessarily tell you what you would have to cover on your own. More help is available than you might realize.
We can help you learn about your options. Schedule a free appointment to meet with us and find out what assistance may be available to you.
Look at the Costs One at a Time
Start with the expenses that concern you most.
We can help you review your insurance coverage, apply for Medicaid, and find safe housing. Transportation to medical appointments may also be available if you live in the Bryan or College Station area.
If you’re worried about where you’ll live, or you’re in an unsafe situation, we can also refer you to housing options in the community.
Instead of trying to solve every financial concern at once, you can start with the needs that already have support available.
Resources Are Available for Parenting
Parenting can feel out of reach if you’re concerned about how to get the material items you need when money is tight. The good news is that support is available.
You can receive material assistance by participating in our programs. We offer free classes and fun activities every week, both virtually and in person.
These classes cover pregnancy and parenting topics to help you feel more prepared. After class, participants receive diapers and wipes and can earn shopping time in the center’s store.
We also operate The Cottage, a boutique with clothing and other essentials for babies and children through age five. Clients can earn additional opportunities to shop there.
These programs let you collect everyday baby items over time rather than purchasing everything at once. We can also provide referrals to help with additional needs and long-term support.
Assistance is Available for Adoption
If you do not want to parent, adoption is another option you can research.
Aggieland Adoptions is a full-service, Texas-licensed adoption agency, and you do not pay for adoption services as a birth mother.
An adoption counselor can explain how the process works, answer questions, and discuss the choices you would have in an adoption plan. If you choose adoption, the agency also offers one-on-one counseling and a confidential support group for birth mothers.
Depending on your circumstances, certain pregnancy-related expenses may also be covered as part of an adoption plan. The agency can explain what financial or material assistance may be available.
Find Out What Help Changes the Numbers
Your budget may look different once Medicaid, transportation assistance, baby supplies, community resources, or other programs are factored in.
