Portico Story

"If you're seeking actual medical advice for your pregnancy, DO NOT COME HERE! I cannot emphasize that enough. These people are not medical professionals. They cannot and will not help you if you're looking for any options with your pregnancy. The very bottom of their website says they do not offer or refer for pregnancy termination or birth control. These people are not looking out for you and your well being."

"The kindness and generosity they showed my girlfriend and I will never be forgotten. They helped teach her best practices when caring for our son. They provided us with many essentials including a crib and mattress at and allowed my girlfriend to earn them by watching informational videos that helped prepare her for motherhood. I am still in shock that they came and visited the hospital and gave our baby and my girlfriend gifts that were so thoughtful. It gave me hope that good people do still exist in this world. Thank you to all who donate their time and money to keep this place open. It takes a village to raise a child, and Portico helped my new family feel love and that community that is lacking in this crazy world."

"Portico was a great experience! Everyone was very nice and helpful. They provide you with plenty of information in regards to having a baby. I would definitely recommend them."

"Life is chaotic at the moment so I came into Portico for resources but found much much more. The woman who greeted me at the front desk was so kind and helpful. Zero judgment. Supportive right from the start. The one-on-one session to see what my needs were was full of compassion and hope. Not only did Portico do a free pregnancy test, they did a free ultrasound. The technician was super kind and extremely thorough with the ultrasound. It was clear she not only loves her job but genuinely cares for each mom and baby who comes in. Lastly, I was given a tour of the Baby Boutique where, in exchange for taking prenatal/birth/parenting classes, families can “shop” for free for everything from clothes to diapers to car seats. The lady also informed me that those who complete the whole course of classes are blessed with a free baby shower by group of local ladies who donate their time and resources. Lastly, on my way out I was handed a gift bag with, among other things, a sweet baby onesie. The whole experience honestly left me quite floored. If you find yourself with an unexpected pregnancy or you’re considering abortion, don’t believe the lies that pro-life groups only care about your baby being born. Nothing could be further from the truth. This team has resources coming out their eyeballs, the Baby Boutique clothes go all the way up to size 2T, and they even offer free counseling services for dads and help for those in abusive situations. Portico is a huge blessing to this community. Whatever your pregnancy situation, please don’t hesitate to make an appointment or even just drop by. I promise you’ll find the help you need from people who deeply care about you and your family."

"I went into Portico to confirm a pregnancy. The staff were very friendly and professional when doing my pregnancy test, and then gave me information on my choices. They treated me like a person not just a client. They informed me on how to get insurance and offered me a free ultrasound. I had an amazing experience at Portico and know many other women who have as well!"
