About

Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach is a place to find hope and help in the midst of stress and uncertainty. APO is a Christian, non-profit ministry that believes lives are precious and valuable from the tiniest beginnings.

We are here for women and their partners as they weather the crisis of an unplanned pregnancy. Our passion is also for the little life growing within. We want babies to thrive in our world, so we help them by helping the adults in their lives during pregnancy and after delivery through our three programs.

Pregnancy Support Services
Outreach to Teen Parents
Adoption Services

Pregnancy Support Services:

We want to help women find the courage and resources to navigate a healthy pregnancy, and we empower them to makes well-informed plans for themselves and for their children. We believe that if we are going to ask a woman to choose life for her unborn baby, we should also provide resources to help her support that decision. Pregnancy support services are the foundation of APO. Learn more…

The Mama Club

The Mama Club program was added in 2006 as a mentoring and support program for teen parents. More often than not, pregnant teenagers choose to parent over adoption, yet their children face the highest risks for abuse and neglect. APO partners with Young Life of the Brazos Valley to bring The Mama Club (and Real Men for young dads) every week during the school year. Learn more…

Adoption Services

Our adoption program exists because of our pregnancy support program. We see our adoptive families as a resource for those women facing unplanned pregnancies who want their child to have a married mom and dad. They want parents who are ready and eagerly waiting to embrace a child. Our waiting-to-adopt families have a love for Jesus Christ and base their lives on Biblical principles. When it comes to adoption, we believe that children are honored in open adoption relationships.

For those wanting information on placing your child with adoptive parents, see our adoption information page.

Summary of our Christian Beliefs

There is only one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Bible is the only inspired Word of God. It is the infallible and authoritative Word of God.
Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death, was raised from the dead, and will one day come again to reign and judge the world.
Salvation is by grace through an individual’s personal faith in Jesus Christ and His atoning work for our sin. Salvation is not a result of good works, it comes by faith alone. Learn more…

APO helped through the hardest thing I'll probably ever have to go through! The lady I worked with was so much help. They helped me with a lot, from counseling to helping financially. From phones calls, text, emails, and meetings, they always check up on you to make sure things are going ok. They always offer to come to you instead of going into the office. I will forever be grateful for their help. Absolutely loved APO!!!

Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach is a wonderful organization!! Our student group, Pro-Life Aggies, has babysat during and provided dinner for their Mama's Club in the past, and we've seen first-hand how caring they are toward these young mothers and their children. APO is doing such great things for mothers in College Station/Bryan!

Pro-Life Aggies

Our hearts are full and our family is complete. APO truly has the best interest of the children at heart. They guideded us and the birth mom step by step trough a stressful and emotional process. They were always available when we had questions or concerns. We appreciate that they take the time to build a one on one relationship with the adopting families and with the birth moms.

I started volunteering at Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach the fall of my freshman year of college. APO has many wonderful programs for those needing support during/post pregnancies. I am blessed to volunteer with such a compassionate organization, and watch many lives be touched. God is truly working through APO!

I was going through a very tough time, and this organization held my hand the whole way. I experienced working with Karla, who by the way is sweet as ever! When I came home from the hospital from having my baby, I was really depressed. I was refusing to talk to anyone because I had just given my baby boy up for adoption. Karla kept reaching out to me until I was ready to talk about it. Without APO I don't know where I would be today. I am very grateful for having them when I was at my lowest, and I will always remember the great staff.

My family came to this organization during a painful time when we had a hole in our heart. We were seeking out different organization and doing research to find our next step. We came to APO just to listen and learn. It didn't take long before we knew this was the perfect place for us. They are more than just a resource for family with unplanned pregnancy and for families seeking adoptions. They are a home for the hurting that provides a family no matter what caused the pain. The members of the staff soon turn into a brothers/sisters or uncles/aunts. They can’t fix your pain, but they vow to walk with you in it. Through their experience, love, wisdom and trust, you soon find that your path you’re on seems a little less lonely because they are with you and it makes a worlds different!

Great staff and family friendly atmosphere! The people involved truly want to serve and care deeply about the young mothers and children they are able to work with. Awesome opportunity for fellowship and community!

Jordan Szura

Amazing! My wife and I adopted both of our children through APO. The staff at APO does an amazing job helping birth parents and adoptive families through one of the most difficult and happiest times of their lives. They show kindness and compassion to everyone they work with and are both professional and loving at the same time. We love sharing our kids adoption stories, and APO is a huge part of both. We have referred several friends to APO and will continue to do so.

Grant Irons

APO has been such an incredible blessing to us and to our community! We joined the APO family in June of 2011, when we attended an adoption seminar. We had no idea the amount of support and priceless friendships that we would receive....and most importantly our precious son!! The amount of love and compassion this ministry gives to our community is irreplaceable and I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to adopt, volunteer, or seeking help with an unplanned pregnancy.

Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach is an incredible resource that the Bryan/College Station area has to offer for unplanned pregnancies. They provide a variety of services for all stages of pregnancy. Staff is considerate, well trained, non-judgmental, and kind.

Teisha Ray

What a great organization! I cannot say enough about the friendliness of the staff. Their genuine concern for the young families is evident in everything they do. I love volunteering there.

Vaughn Miller

We went through the process of adoption through Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach (APO) and couldn't me more pleased. The adoption process has its beautiful and awkward moments, and APO helped make it comfortable and smooth. They are an extension of our family now and we are so blessed and grateful for them being a huge part in taking us from a family of three to a family of four! Thanks and God Bless You Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach!

Our connection to APO is an outer circle at best. We are the parents of someone who gave their child up for adoption. I thought my husband and I would have very little interaction with the adoption agency, but I was wrong. This agency's representative has gone above and beyond the paperwork and legalities. She has given godly advice both before the baby was born and continuing long after the adoption was finalized. I know if I called her today she would welcome my call and take the time to address my concerns with prayer and love.
