New Parents
Welcome new parents and families! We have information packets for
* brand new parents in both English and Spanish
* a pregnant mother
* grandparents
Packets are to be in the major hospitals, to be given to parents as soon as a diagnosis is made. If you are pregnant, a grandparent, or did not receive a packet from your hospital, please contact us for information if interested. We can mail or hand deliver a packet. We are also most happy to connect through a hospital or home visit.
Our program now has a gift basket to welcome new babies. ☺ Your new-parent packet includes a postcard to mail in letting us know your baby is here and how to contact you. The basket has treats for both mom and baby, as well as a book for siblings (if appropriate).
