About
APO
Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach, Inc. is a Christian,
non-profit organization founded in 1997 with a three-fold mission:
To
provide support services to women in unplanned pregnancies
To promote Christian
parenting
To
promote adoption as a loving alternative. 
Our motivation
is to encourage women to choose life for their babies and to help women make
sound parenting decisions. The object in mind is the children – it is our heart’s
desire to see children raised in loving,
nurturing homes that honor Christ and that point children to our Savior.
The
support services of APO have been in existence since 1997.
We feel that if we are going to encourage a woman to choose life for
her baby that we should also provide any means necessary to help her through
her difficult times. Support services for birthparents are
the heart of APO.
Adoption services were added in 2002 because
some birthparents feel that placing their child in an adoptive home is the best
parenting decision they can make. Our adoption program exists because of our pregnancy
support program. We see our adoptive families as a resource
for our birthfamilies - not the other way around.
We are convinced that this is the most ethical model in which to offer
our services.
Being a Christian organization, we feel that families
who have a love for Jesus Christ and who base their lives on the principals
laid forth in the Bible have a strong foundation for providing a stable home
environment and parenting approach for children.
We recognize
that not every family that seeks an adoptive child will agree with the philosophies
and policies of this agency. To assist
you in making good decisions regarding adoption, we have provided you a detailed
information packet. Good decision-making
requires good information gathering. The agency’s first concern is to give you
as much information about adoption and Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach, Inc. as
early and as inexpensively as possible.
We
understand that when a couple seeks to grow their family through adoption, sometimes
all they can see is the end result – having a baby in their arms. Adoption
is not a one-time event. The means to the end is very important too.
We hope that you will evaluate your own values and desires and that you will
choose an adoption agency that lines up most closely
with your evaluation. The avenues you
choose to walk at the beginning of this adoption journey can have a very long
lasting impact on the way your family deals with adoption issues in the future.
We look forward to getting to know you and we wish you the best on your journey.
