Agnus Dei Foundation

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, agnus dei foundation (adf) provided direct care to 15 residents in our homes in California and Utah. During their time at the home, residents received individualized care plans, prenatal and postpartum support, professional mental health counseling, financial literacy training, education assistance and job readiness coaching. These holistic services empowered residents to develeop practical life skills, emotional resilience and confidence as they prepared for the birth of their child and independent living.by residing with other women who are choosing open adoption as their parenting choice, and attending adoption classes, our residents are educated to make the most informed decision for themselves and their babies. Many of our residents successfully completed the program and transitioned into stable housing and employment.in addition to the women who lived at the maternity home, we supported over 425+ women through our two 24/7 crisis phone lines, by directing them to other community resources that could provide for their specific individual needs and situations.the Utah home, which opened in 2023, expanded its community partnerships with local service providers including open doors, good futures and safe harbor crisis center, to provide trauma-informed care and coordinated entry for women at risk of homelessness.it is our belief that open adoption is a direct help not only to the birth mother and child, but also to society. With open adoptions, the birthmothers choose the adoptive parents and have access to their child. Adoption makes a generational impact in the areas of poverty, trauma and the tragedy of children becoming part of the foster care system. By helping both mother and child, the financial burden on society at large is lessened.
