ATAM (Alternative to Abortion Ministries) is a ministry of Falcon Children’s Home and the IPHC for girls in crisis pregnancy. The Royal Home (a Maternity Home) is operated as a residential group care facility/maternity home for pregnant girls and women. The MISSION of THE ROYAL HOME is to offer birth mothers and their unborn babies the necessary support, care, and encouragement to ensure their health and to provide future opportunities to set appropriate goals and make wise decisions that will chart their "course in life." THE ROYAL HOME can accommodate six young women at a time. A loving and caring staff stands ready to minister to the clients and their families as they deal with the difficult situation of an unplanned pregnancy.

The Royal Home needs YOU. You are invited to use your talents to help us continue to help the young women who need our services at a critical time in their lives. Depending on your proximity to the facilities, you could consider the various ministry services below and contact ATAM to discuss how YOU and your WM can be of assistance:

• Consistent Prayer Support
  
• Sponsoring a young woman who lacks family support
• Sharing Your Special Talents (Crafts, Baking, Etc.)
• Writing Grants, Brochures, Etc.
• Relief Time For House Parents
• Financial Support On A Monthly Basis Or One-Time Gift
• Observe Sanctity of Human Life Day each January and receive an offering for ATAM, Inc.
  
• Promote Baby Hope Club year-round (even if you don't have Girls' Ministries or Missionettes in place).

Baby Hope Club is a ministry through IPHC Girls' Ministries that provides money for the Royal Home to use to help the young ladies living there while expecting a child. Pink baby shoe banks have been purchased over the past several years and are being used by girls (and others) to collect change for the home. When the booties were no longer available for purchase, we began using 8 oz. baby bottles to collet funds. To learn more about this ministry, click on the Baby Hope photo in the right column. (From that page, you can download a master label to place on the baby bottles to distribute to every family in your local church.)
