Birth, Doulas and Adoption
Birth
Giving birth to a baby is so much more than a physical phenomenon; it engages parents in a transformational experience, a key life event full of emotion, meaning and spiritual growth. The greatest need of a woman after giving birth is affirmation and loving support. Our resources help provide this encouragement and ease the adjustment to the challenges of having a newborn.
Doula
A doula who accompanies a woman in labor mothers the mother taking care of
her emotional needs throughout childbirth. A doula also provides support and suggestions for partners that can enhance their experiences of birth. A postpartum doula continues that valuable emotional support and guidance, helping a family make a smooth transition into new family dynamics. Elizabeth Ministry and the Life & Loss Institute have professionally trained doulas to assist the family before, during and after birth.
Adoption
Our resources and services provide special support to families who are involved in the adoptive process.
