Review for SELAH, Steamboat Spr, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was first introduced to the Resource Center in 2010 when my son and his then 15 year old girlfriend found themselves pregnant. I knew that they were going to need help to figure out what the best options were and I definitely needed help to guide them through this. Not only did they provide my son and his girlfriend with many options from parenting to adoption, but they helped me make sense of this situation and gave me the tools I needed to help them with their decision. I am so very proud to say that my grandson, who is now 2 years old, was adopted out to a wonderful family on October 23rd 2010. The director of the resource center, who I also consider a friend, was there at the hospital when the day came to give my first born grandchild to another couple to raise and cherish. That was the hardest day of my life and she held me as I broke down and tried to make it all make sense. But, the story did not end there! Many people do not know that not only do they guide the women and men facing the pregnancy, but they are instrumental in family guidance as well! Even after my grandson was adopted, I continued to meet with the director and talk about my fears, my dreams for my grandson, my gratitude for their help, and the life they had helped give to my son. Through them we have an open adoption and the adoptive parents are absolutely wonderful!!! I am now the proud grandmother to a wonderful little girl who is 6 weeks old, and YES they helped my daughter, myself, my husband and my son through her pregnancy as well! I do not know if I could have gotten through these trials without them, and I am SO glad that I don't have to ever know!! I will continue to visit and donate as often as possible to this truly amazing organization!! I cannot say enough about the director, the staff and the resources this amazing group of people have given to my family. I am forever grateful for them and I am so proud to be part of their organization forever!
