Birthmother Needs

Imagine moving into an apartment all alone with virtually nothing to call your own. Some Christian Homes’ birthmothers arrive with little more than a small suitcase of belongings, and the unborn child whose future she is planning.

Now imagine arriving at that same apartment and discovering that caring Christians have purchased and provided you with the things you’ll need to make the apartment your home.

Birthmother Basics are all the essentials a young woman will need living in her maternity apartment. Below is a typical list of the basics each birthmother needs.

Spiritual Basics

• Bible (Women’s Devotional or Daily Devotional Bible preferred)
• Journal
• Pens

Kitchen Basics

• Frying pan, small pot and cookie sheet
• Cooking utensils such as a knife, spatula, wooden spoons
• Plates, glasses and flatware for no more than four
• Cup towels and dishcloths
• Dish Drainer

Bedroom Basics

• Sheets for a twin or double bed
• Bedding sets

Bath Basics

• Bath, hand towels, and washcloths
• Bath mat
• Standard shower curtain

Toiletries

• Shampoo, conditioner, bath and hand soap
• Deodorant and body lotion
• Disposable razors
• Toothpaste and toothbrush
• Mouthwash
• Sanitary napkins

Providing the Birthmother Basics for a new Christian Homes’ birthmother is a wonderful way to affirm a young woman’s choice to consider adoption for her unborn baby. At the conclusion of her stay at Christian Homes, she is allowed to take all the items with her to use in establish a new and better life.

Assembling a package of Birthmother Basics is a great project for churches, Bible Classes, youth groups, Bunko groups, sororities, civic clubs, employer groups or just a group of ladies who need a reason to shop.
