Are you ready to raise a baby?

You're unexpectedly pregnant. You're wondering whether this is the right time for you to raise a child. That is a personal decision that only you can or should make. The Barker Foundation is committed to helping you make the best possible plan for your child's future, as well as your own. There are no requirements to meet in order to receive our assistance.

If you would like to speak in confidence with one of our social workers, you may call us anytime - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - at 1-800-821-3104 or you may email us at your convenience.

We provide unbiased information and the opportunity to talk confidentially with an experienced social worker. There will be no pressure to make quick decisions. Counseling and support can continue throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Barker will help you find resources if you decide to parent.

Choosing an adoption agency is an important decision. Review our services and decide what is right for you and your baby.

We're here to help you make the right decision for you and your baby. Call us.

"There was no way we were ready for this. We really love each other but we haven't finished high school and don't want our parents to take care of the baby for us."
