BIRTHRIGHT OF GREATER KANSAS CITY

Birthright of Greater Kansas City offers emotional support and practical assistance to any woman distressed by an untimely pregnancy. According to her needs and on a confidential basis, each woman is offered a free pregnancy test. Volunteers assist her on a one-to-one basis with planning for medical services, housing, employment, continuing education, financial aid, maternity and baby clothing and legal advice. Birthright also utilizes community resources and makes professional referrals. Guidance is offered in helping a mother plan for her child's future, and should she choose to give her baby an adoptive home, she is referred to licensed adoption agencies. Our program is designed to build hope and self esteem. For as long as the new mom feels the need, she remains part of the Birthright family. During the fiscal year, Birthright had hundreds of appointments and phone calls for some sort of counseling. All of the expenses of the organization related to such exempt purposes.
