New Life Adoptions

New Life will have a booth at this event on Saturday. Come say hi if you are attending!

We provide care to everyone, regardless of age, gender, income, or immigration status. While we do request a valid ID, a driver’s license is not required to receive services. Your information is always confidential, and we never report anyone’s status. All clients are welcome, including those without insurance or legal documentation.

Atendemos a todos, independientemente de su edad, s**o, ingresos o situación migratoria. Aunque pedimos un documento de identidad válido, una licencia de conducir no es necesaria para recibir servicios. Tu información es siempre confidencial, y nunca reportamos el estado de nadie. Todos los clientes son bienvenidos, incluidos los que no tienen seguro o documentación legal.

Bringing a new life into the world should be a cause for celebration, not despair and anxiety. But we know that many women are surprised by a pregnancy and not ready to be a mom just yet, or are not prepared to parent an additional child.

We want to walk with you as you make the decisions for your baby!

At New Life our services include:
• Expectant/Birth Mother Support: We help expectant moms explore their options so they can make the best decision for themselves and their babies.
• Adoption Services: When mothers choose adoption, we help them choose loving Christian couples who will honor them and love their child.
• Post-Adoption Support: We offer lifelong support by connecting birth moms and adoptive families with resources, referrals, support groups, counseling, and more.

We’ve helped hundreds of women make informed decisions about their pregnancies. Many have been given the encouragement, resources, or connections needed to deliver their child and parent it themselves. Many others have been guided through an equitable, open adoption process.

We are here for you! You're not alone.

Update from Angie-
Our beloved mother and Mom, Ema, and Sara Black, went to be with Jesus surrounded by family. We take comfort in knowing she is in heaven while we grieve her earthly presence. We will post her arrangements once finalized and ask for continued prayers for the family and all who loved her. Know we are seeing the texts and calls from all that loved her and the family and we ask for patience in getting back to you all...there's a lot of you! Thank you for all the support during this time.

New Life Family-

Our dear Sara Black (our long time social worker & Director who retired in 2018), is currently on hospice.

This is from her daughter Angie-

She’s not awake but I know she can hear what we say so if y'all wanted to get some letters from birth moms or adoptive parents that we could read to her I know she would love that.

She’s is in an in patient hospice care facility right now and will hopefully stay there until the end. My nephew’s wife works there and is making sure she is getting the best of care!

Hi, we’re Oga and Nicole.

We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to grow our family through adoption. This journey is something we don’t take lightly—it’s rooted in love, faith, and a genuine desire to provide a safe, nurturing, and joy-filled home.

Our story began in the parking lot of a small church in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and nearly 12 years later, we’re still building a life centered on God, purpose, and each other. Oga is an instructional design engineer and also helps lead a foundation that creates opportunities for college students in Nigeria to share God’s love through music and community outreach. Nicole is a life coach with a private practice, walking alongside women and teens as they grow in their personal and spiritual lives. We both work from home, which allows us to be present, intentional, and deeply involved in the life we’re building.

Our home is filled with laughter, music, and connection. We love traveling, movie nights, sports, dancing in the living room, quiet walks, and getting lost in a good book. Oga brings a thoughtful, steady presence—he’s the scholar of our home—while Nicole brings creativity, warmth, and energy.

Family means everything to us. We’re both very close to our families and cherish time spent celebrating birthdays, holidays, and everyday moments together. We’re also actively involved in our church community, where we’ve both had the privilege of serving—Nicole with youth, media, and missions, and Oga through small group leadership.

More than anything, we want to say thank you. We see your strength, your courage, and your love. We are praying for you, and we honor whatever this journey looks like for you. We would be truly grateful for the opportunity to meet you and, in some way, become part of your story.

Even if you are already parenting your little one, we are here if things become too much or too overwhelming. There isn't a timeline for when you can make an adoption plan. We are here for you.

Will I Have a Relationship with My Child if I Place Them for Adoption?

As an expectant mother or birth mother, you can determine how much contact you wish to have with your child after placement. By choosing the adoption plan that works best for you, you’ll have the opportunity to have a relationship with your child and their adoptive family.

At New Life Adoptions, an adoption specialist works closely with you to create a specific plan that gives you the type of contact you desire. Let’s review those plans and see how each one can impact a future relationship.

Three Types of Adoption Plans
Your first step is to create an adoption plan that reflects your comfort level and your wishes. We work with families who are committed to ongoing connection, if that’s what you want.

Open Adoption
If you wish to have immediate contact with the adoptive family and you’re willing to share identifying information, select an open adoption. You’ll stay directly connected.

Openness can take the form of phone calls, letters, emails, or even personal visits. You select an adoptive family that wants the same type of communication and exchange the amount of information you wish to share. It is important to note that while option adoption can be agreed upon continued contact it is not legally enforceable in the state of Texas. However, New Life will always advocate for your adoption plan. Adoptive Families sign a covenant with us to stay in contact with you.

Closed (or Confidential) Adoption
A closed adoption means that you have no plan to continue contact after placing your child. If you are looking for a closed adoption, New Life Adoptions and the adoptive family will respect your wishes. You also may wish to initiate contact at some point after placement, and that is up to you as well.

However, statistics show that 90-95% of adoptions today include some form of openness. A completely closed adoption is rare.

Semi-Open Adoption
A semi-open adoption plan is a bridge between open and closed adoption, with communication facilitated through New Life Adoptions. You and the adoptive family communicate with one another, but you do not have direct contact with them.

A semi-open plan provides a level of privacy that many birth mothers and adoptive families find comforting in the beginning. At New Life, all adoptions begin with this plan and move to an open adoption after six months.

Building Relationships Through Contact
Both adoptive parents and birth families have doubts and fears about the benefits of openness in their adoption. Adoptive parents fear their child won’t bond correctly and that the birth mother will fight to get her child back. Birth mothers fear that seeing their child will make it harder and confuse their child.
