Review for Providence Place, San Antonio, TX, USA
I have a unique perspective on the Methodist Mission Home. My grandmother and later my father served as board members for many years. It is now my priviledge to serve as board chair, however , my most personal association with the Home was as an 18 year old pregnant, unwed girl with no future to offer a new baby at that time. The Home gave me the opportunity to provide my son with loving parents/home that he deserved. It also enabled me to continue with my plans to attend college and make a life for myself before I chose when to marry and start a family. Later, in the 70's ,the Home added a ministry for persons with hearing and multiple disabilisies to realize their persoanal goals of independence. Families and friends have witnessed their loved ones blossom in a caring, faith-based environment.

I had not had a closed adoption. That was not available then. I think open adoption is a more healthy approach which is available in today's society.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
limitations of resources and awareness by a greater amount of the population of services available.
One thing I'd also say is that...
even though this organization is faith-based, it is not limited or restricted to any particular denomination.
