"If I could have had a Family Connects visit with my daughter, I would have been a much more confident first-time parent."

– Meagan Dunphy-Daly, a Family Connects parent

"I think the main apprehension we had was that we may encounter homophobic people who treat us or our daughters badly because we're same-sex parents. But the Family Connects nurses treated us with respect and ease, and we really appreciated that."

– Sara LeGrand, a Family Connects parent

 

"Having someone who was able to come to our home was incredibly helpful because it was so overwhelming with newborn twins to even contemplate leaving the house."

– Kate Murray, a Family Connects parent

"The nurses instilled a sense of confidence in us as new parents, and made us feel connected to our community during a time when it's easy to feel isolated or alone."

– Rachel Scheckter, a Family Connects parent

Babies don’t come with an instruction manual and having questions is normal. Family Connects Colorado can help. Reach out to us or schedule a visit today!
