The Intake Log
The desk, the file, the conversation, the follow-up, each practice dated and documented.
A pregnancy help center looks simple from the sidewalk: a door, a waiting room, a free test. This log documents what actually happens inside, the confidential intake, the options conversation, the classes, the follow-up, drawn from the public record of one Ohio center that kept its door open for over a decade.

How a visit unfolds
01 · Walk in
No appointment needed at most centers. The desk greets, the paperwork waits a minute.
02 · Confidential intake
A short form: name, contact preference, what brings you in. Privacy practices are handed over in writing.
03 · The conversation
A nurse or consultant walks through the test result and the three options: parenting, adoption, abortion information.
04 · Next steps
Classes, material help, community referrals, a follow-up call, whatever the client actually needs.
