Q: <\/span><\/i><\/b>What is National Child Abuse Prevention Month?<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>\n

A:<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>Since 1983<\/span>, the United States has named April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month in order to raise awareness on preventing<\/span> child abuse. <\/span>With over 4.4 million cases, it is our <\/span>mission<\/span> to help bring awareness and put an end to child abuse<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Q: <\/span><\/i><\/b>What should I do if I suspect a child is being abused?<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>\n

A:<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>Always report any instances of suspected child abuse to the proper authorities.

A:<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>Domestic violence encompasses a range of manipulative, controlling, and violent behaviors exerted by one partner in order to maintain power over the other partner in an intimate relationship. While domestic violence is often recognized as being within a partnership between two people, DV can also be reflected in the wider family dynamic involving children. When situations are growing violent between current or former spouses in a household, children are at risk of exposure to violence in the form of verbal arguments and physical altercations. Witnessing violent acts between parents can have a tremendous impact on children. <\/span>Click here to read more on our in-depth regarding this subject.<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Why are home studies required to adopt a child?<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/h5>\n

A: <\/strong><\/em>As you consider your unplanned pregnancy options, especially adoption, you may come across the common use of the phrase \u201cgive baby up for adoption in Florida.\u201d This phrase has become popular through media, movies, television, podcasts, and is now practically synonymous with adoption. However, when choosing adoption for your baby, you are not “giving them up.” You are giving them the opportunity to have the best life possible, full of opportunity and happiness. It means you are making a selfless decision to put your baby\u2019s<\/span> safety and<\/span> needs before your own. In other words, it means that you are a great mom. If you are ready to choose adoption for your child, we will help you create an individualized adoption plan that is right for you.
