How We Support You in Arizona
If you are considering adoption in Arizona, you do not have to navigate the process alone. All of our services are free, and our compassionate team will support you without judgment or pressure. Services may include:
- Free counseling with a dedicated social worker who will listen, answer your questions, and help you create the adoption plan that feels right for you and your baby.
- Financial assistance with certain pregnancy-related expenses, such as groceries, medical appointments, phone bills, rent, and other needs. A social worker can explain what assistance may be available to you in Arizona.
- Newborn respite care through our Interim Care Program, giving you additional time to consider your options while your baby is cared for in the home of a trained interim care provider.
- Free legal services to help you understand your rights and guide you through the legal steps of an Arizona adoption.
- Hospital advocacy to help ensure that your wishes are heard and respected throughout your hospital experience.
- Ongoing support after placement for as long as you need it, including counseling and opportunities to connect with a supportive birth parent community through virtual meetings.
Counseling and Support
If you are pregnant or have recently given birth in Arizona, you can speak confidentially with a licensed counselor who will listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options. Support is available around the clock, completely free of charge and without pressure or judgment.
Temporary Newborn Care
After giving birth, you may need more time and space before making a permanent decision. Through Spence-Chapin’s Interim Care Program, a trained and screened care provider can temporarily care for your baby while you work with an Arizona social worker and consider what feels right for your family.
Special Needs Adoption
If you’ve received an unanticipated diagnosis or experienced a complication during pregnancy or after birth, you may be unsure about parenting and unaware of all your options. Our Arizona social workers can meet with you confidentially to talk with you about your baby’s needs and help you understand your options.
Birth Parent Rights
You have rights throughout the Arizona adoption process, and we will make sure you understand them. Our adoption process is birth parent-led, meaning you choose the type of plan, you choose the family, and you are provided with independent legal representation at no cost.
Already a parent and considering adoption?
You do not have to be pregnant to reach out to us. If you are a parent considering adoption for a child you are already raising, Spence-Chapin can help you understand your options and support you through every step of the process.
Hospital Advocacy and Planning
No matter what you decide about your pregnancy, having a plan for your hospital stay can make a significant difference. Your Spence-Chapin social worker will work with you to create a hospital plan that reflects your wishes, so that your choices are respected from the moment you arrive.
Our counselors will coordinate directly with the hospital social worker on your behalf to make sure your rights are protected and your voice is heard throughout your stay. We can be present with you at the hospital, advocate for your preferences with medical staff, and support you through every decision you face before, during, and after delivery.
We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether you have a detailed plan in place or are still figuring things out, we will meet you wherever you are.

Why birth parents trust Spence-Chapin
Since 1908, Spence-Chapin has supported birth parents through one of the most significant decisions of their lives. For over a century, we have been guided by a simple belief: that every person who comes to us deserves honest information, compassionate support, and the freedom to make the choice that is right for them.
Our process is birth parent-led from beginning to end. That means you are always in control. You choose whether to explore adoption or other options. You choose the family. You have your own independent attorney provided at no cost. And you can change your mind at any point before the adoption is finalized.
All of our services are completely free and confidential. We are licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Arizona, and our counselors are available around the clock, every day of the year. Whatever you are facing, you do not have to face it alone.
