Rescue Family
Project Cuddle™ is a nonprofit organization that operates a 24-hour, 7-day a week crisis hotline that works as a search and rescue program.

We search out safe and legal alternatives for women that are contemplating abandoning or dumping their babies.

We work with volunteers to rescue newborns and infants from abandonment. We do not discriminate against anyone who is willing to rescue a baby. Project Cuddle™ is a non-profit charity and charges nothing to the girls in need or the Rescue families. The adoption process can cost between $10,000 and $30,000, but Project Cuddle™ charges nothing.

The birth mother selects families to learn about. The decision to work with a certain family is a decision made entirely by her. She may or may not choose to speak with each of the families presented, although each birth mother letter will have been presented.

Your home-study must be complete and current. If it is pending or one is not currently in place, please refrain from sending in your completed application until your home-study is in completed.
