This was an unplanned pregnancy and we had no health insurance as I had just found a job and the health insurers won't insure you till you are in the USA for 60 days. The staff were amazing and gave us a couple of hours of their time where we learned that my wife was 14 weeks pregnant. They also supplied us with really valuable info such as doctors that would be able to help us even though we weren't insured, they offered us counselling and also offered to help us with housing if we needed it. They even child minded my 1 year old so I could see the ultrasound images! I can't recommend this place more. I promise you will have a brilliant experience here.” - Billy Barnett, Oakland “Julie and Irene are angels! I was worried about my late period will turn to be a pregnancy later so I found Support Circle online to confirm it professionally. With a verywarm welcome, they offered me such a nice and professional help. Finally, it was confirmed as I just have a simple late period under stress.
