Baptist Children's Home
and Family Services

Angels' Cove in Mount Vernon is home to the maternity, adoption and foster care services of BCHFS.

At Angels' Cove, unmarried girls facing a crisis pregnancy find love and care in a home like setting. Assistance for birth mothers in the positive choices of parenting and adoption are provided with neither option stressed more than the other.

Hope and answers to very difficult problems are offered along with medical support. Girls who elect to parent their infants participate in parenting classes and learn independent living skills. 

While in care, each girl continues to pursue her education through completion of a GED program, high school, or attendance at a local college. 

Some girls make the choice of placing their child with an adoptive family and, if they choose, can have input as a family is selected for their baby.

Baptist Children's Home and Family Services is a licensed adoption provider for the state of Illinois. Through the Mount Vernon office, you can find out more about our adoption program and our home study services for domestic and international adoptions.
