We know the choices of parenting or adoption are tough ones for a young mother. At Fontebella we don’t presume to steer mothers in either direction. Rather we believe these young women have within themselves the capacity to make the best choices themselves and we believe our role is one of giving them some ‘breathing room’; a place where they can feel safe, warm, fed, and loved; and a place from which they can take the time they need to sort out what they feel they need to ensure what is best for them and their child. In short, if we can serve as a resource that keeps them safe, warm, fed and housed for a short time they will come to their own decisions based on their own good judgment.
