Meet Loran & Elissa,one of CFS' waiting families

Dear Friend,

There really arenโ€™t enough words to tell you how much respect and gratitude we have for the courageous sacrifice you're making for your baby. Weโ€™re praying for God to give you the peace and strength needed everyday through your journey. You will forever hold a place of deep honor within our hearts, no matter the family you choose for your sweet baby, because of your strength and bravery, and because we see how precious you are in the sight of God, created in His image. Your decision shows the depth of your love for your child, and we understand this is what propels you to find the family you've envisioned who will cherish and lovingly raise your baby. We hope you catch a glimpse into what your child's life would be like with our family through our photos, video, and flipbook, and see the love and space in our familyโ€™s hearts and life for your sweet little one!
With love and prayers,
Loran + Elissa

June 30th is quickly approaching, the last day Jerry Callens will serve as the Executive Director of Christian Family Services.

On this day, with only two days remaining, what do we find Jerry doing? He is preparing a summary of a soon to be adoptive placement.

Outside the doors of the office of Christian Family Services is a wall of baby pictures. Jerry began picture collages of annual child placements in 2003.

CFS Staff, CampusView Church members and My School students and teachers are familiar with this wall-and today, we are sharing it with you!

Question: When Is It Too Late To Make An Adoption Plan?

Answer: It is never too late to make an adoption plan for your baby. It is always a tough emotional choice but can be less stressful if done before you leave the hospital. That is a primary reason we want to work with you during your pregnancy so that you know what you want to do when you get to the hospital.

However, some moms donโ€™t come to that conclusion until they are at the hospital and the baby is born. Usually, we can still accommodate a momโ€™s wishes and make everything happen before she and the baby are discharged. We help her select the family, and she can usually meet them before she leaves the hospital.

Sometimes a mom takes her baby home, only to discover later that she canโ€™t make it work, or she may decide that she wants a better life for her child than she can currently provide. She makes that sacrificial choice by putting the best interest of her child above her own. She knows that she is making a loving choice to give her child both a mom and a dad in a good Christian home and that she will be able to see and know (through pictures and updates, etc.) that her child is growing and happy.

Our Story

CFS has worked with women in need since 1978 throughout Central and North Florida. On average, we minister to more than 100 women annually who have experienced an unplanned pregnancy.

Many of the women we serve donโ€™t have any support and we are the only ones they are able to talk to about their circumstances and pregnancy. CFS counselors come alongside these women and provide pregnancy help and support. Our counselors are committed to the women we serve no matter what decision they make.

Christian Family Services is dedicated to helping women find hope in what seems like a hopeless situation by sharing the unconditional love of God with the women we serve and their unborn child.
