We
offer a wide variety of services for women who find themselves
in crisis pregnancy situations. These services are available
directly through our office or, in some cases, through an extensive
network of other regional organizations. Please continue reading below
to learn the ways we can help.
Pregnancy Testing
Services to our clients often begin with pregnancy testing. Our trained
volunteers are available to assist with conducting and reading the
results of pregnancy tests to ensure that clients achieve the most
accurate results possible.
We are able to provide pregnancy testing free of charge to our
clients due to the generous donations of local individuals and
organizations that support our services. Counseling and Information It's true for everyone, not just women in difficult pregnancies... sometimes what
you want and need more than anything is someone to talk with, someone
who will listen. That's why our trained counselors are here
and ready to listen and help.
In addition to talking with clients about their situations
confidentially, our counselors have a weath of brochures and
information that they can provide. If you're facing a pregnancy
situation and need someone to talk with, please get in touch with us.
Multilingual Materials
As part of our literature library, Abortion Alternatives & Crisis Pregnancy Center is pleased to offer
printed resources in several different languages. In addition to materials in
English, literature and information is also available in Spanish,
French, Russian, and Romanian.
We may also have other languages on-hand, subject to availability.

Housing and Adoption Referrals While AA&CPC does not provide direct housing for our clients, we are
networked with various Christian maternity homes throughout the region.
We are more than happy to work with each client who requires housing
asssistance to find out which option best meets her needs.
The list of maternity homes with which we work includes facilities
in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia. To find out if we refer
to a home in your area, please contact our office. We present adoption as a respectable and responsible alternative to abortion and refer
clients who are interested to licensed, Christian adoption agencies.
Adoption allows women to make the choice of life for their unborn
child, and also enables families who desire to have children but may be
unable the opportunity to do so. The adoption process screens potential
families very carefully using many criteria before approving them to
complete the adoption process.
Adoption allows children who might have otherwise been aborted to
grow up in a loving home and experience the lives that God desires for
them. We urge you to discuss the option of adoption with us. Networking and Community Education Utilizing
relationships with a wide variety of other regional organizations,
Abortion Alternatives & Crisis Pregnancy Center is able to assist
with a range of needs. If you have a need not listed here, please
contact us and we will be happy to assist if we can. We
also provide educational opportunities and information for local
schools throughout the region, helping teach young adults what they
need to know in order to make responsible decisions. Post-Abortion Services At
Abortion Alternatives & Crisis Pregnancy Center, we help women who
have been through a stressful or crisis pregnancy situation and have
already had an abortion. Many times, women under these circumstances
are dealing with questions and concerns or even guilt, anger and
confusion. Our
trained staff members can help you if you are in a difficult situation
such as this. Please contact us for help or more information.
