Grace Center

What is it? A maternity home for under age women, ages 10-18. It is in a former convent at Blessed Sacrament Parish, Kansas City, KS.

How long can they stay? Six months after the birth of their baby.

What happens after the baby is born? Each girl is offered individual counseling to help her make important decisions about her baby's future. If she decides to raises the child, Grace Center will help her prepare for the responsibilities of motherhood. If she chooses adoption, the center will refer her to the proper social service agencies and offer counseling to prepare her for the separation.

What programs does it offer? The most important is a caring, homelike atmosphere. It also has programs to help the young residents grow emotionally, spiritually and prepare for work and parenting.
