Is this program just for pregnancy care centers?

Not necessarily, that’s just where the program works well because clients are coming there to resolve the event of their procreation of a child.

How much does implementing the Birth of a Family program cost?

Each pregnancy care center is different. They have different demographics, client streams, facilities, resources and capacities. We develop a strategic plan for implementation for each individual center called a Project Charter. Using the Project Charter a budget for implementation id developed.

Where does the money to implement the program come from?

Part of our service to pregnancy care centers is finding the resources to implement the programs, including the money. Using the Project Charter developed in the strategic planning process, we develop and submit grant proposals for the implementation of the program.

How long does it take to implement the program?

All pregnancy care centers are different. Some will require more time to fully implement the program than others. Generally the implementation process can occur within twelve months.

What are Family Coaches?

Family Coaches are trained mentors who accompany individual clients through the seven classes in the course. Each client family is assigned their own personal Family Coach. Coaches help clients orient to program and curriculum providing support and encouragement along the way.

Where do the Family Coaches come from?

People are an important resource to the Birth of a Family program. Each pregnancy care center will need a steady stream of Family Coaches. We assist the center in developing collaborative partnerships with local churches. These churches recruit and train Family Coaches from their membership.

How long does the training take?

There is one, 2 hour Family Coach training session. Once implementation is complete, pregnancy care centers will be able to conduct their own training events.

Is there a cost to Family Coaches to participate in the training?

Must clients be couples consisting of the father and the mother in order to participate or can single parents come to the class as well?

Single parents are encouraged to come to the classes as well since it may be likely that they will engage in relationships in the future. What they learn there will be as applicable to them as it is to couple who go through the class together.

Can married couples participate?

Certainly, the class is inclusive and applicable to all nuclear households where mothers, fathers and children will live and grow together.

Is there a cost to clients to attend the classes?

How many classes are there in the Birth of a Family Course?

There are seven classes.

What is the course about?

The course consists of sequential classes covering seven foundational elements of lasting nuclear households. Presentations are inductive and include substantial participation on the part of clients. Each presentation presents an opportunity for a critical paradigm shift to occur that promotes the founding and strong growth of nuclear households.

Is this an evangelistic course?

The course is soundly based upon Biblical principles. It is at the client’s discretion to pursue a relationship with God through Christ.

Is this program endorsed or sponsored by a religious denomination?

How is success measured?

Those clients who complete the program and engage in nuclear household living where mothers, fathers and their children live and grow together are considered successful clients.

How often are clients successful?

Notwithstanding that the numbers will vary from time to time and center to center, some general metrics can be derived from past experiences with the program. Conservatively, among the total number of clients who come to pregnancy care centers, it is estimated that in seventy-five percent or more of those cases the children born to those clients will go home to single parent households, usually with the mothers.

Based upon actual performance of the program, at least thirty-five percent of the clients who complete the program can be expected to engage in nuclear households living where mothers, fathers and their children live and grow together.

Using numbers it looks like this.

For every 100 clients coming to the centers, 80 of those clients will become single parents. If half of those clients participate in the program, (forty) and 35% of them are successful, that is an increase of 70% in the occurrence of nuclear households consisting of fathers, mothers and their children living and growing together in one household.
