Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach, Inc. is a Christian, non-profit organization founded in 1997 with a three-fold mission:
- To provide support services to women experiencing unplanned pregnancies
- To promote Christian parenting
- To promote adoption as a loving alternative
Our mission is to encourage women to choose life for their babies and to help women make sound parenting decisions. We feel that if we are going to encourage a woman to carry her baby to term, we should also provide any means necessary to help her through her difficult times. This is why support services for birthparents are the heart of APO.
Our ultimate focus is the children. It is our heart’s desire to see that children are raised in loving, nurturing homes. We know that can happen well in both biological families and also adoptive families.
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; parents who are ready and have been 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.
