Left work a little early to take S. to a counseling appointment. This place was recommended by the counselor that S. sees as a result of her IEP (Individualized Education Plan.) I was somewhat surprised to find that the place was quite Christian oriented. I knew from talking to the lady on the phone that they "wouldn't recommend abortion for someone in these circumstances", but it appears that they wouldn't recommend abortion for anyone. That's ok with me, neither would I.
This place turns out to be more crisis intervention than counseling, but the lady we spoke to did tell S. that she'd call her next week and see if S. has any questions after reading the material.
S. really opened up a bit, and at one point I could tell that S. was purposely focusing on the counselor while S. talked. I believed that she was self-conscious over what she was saying with me in room, so I just tried to melt into the chair and keep quiet.
After the meeting was over, she confirmed what I thought, and said that it was ok, she was just pretending I wasn't there.
They gave S. some literature to read, and some names of actual adoption agencies that we can contact for further information.
I got S's permission to call the church tomorrow and find out if they have some kind of adoption counseling program.
