Must the father help pay for the pregnancy? Partly. The father is liable for the reasonable expenses of the mother's pregnancy and confinement (birth), whether or not the child is born alive; these costs can be enforced once paternity is established. Ongoing child support from conception is not law.
KRS 406.011; KRS 406.021(3) (as amended by 2025 Ky. Acts ch. 59 (SB 244), sec. 16, eff. July 1, 2025); KRS 406.031
Kentucky Department of Child Support Services (Office of the Attorney General; formerly CHFS Division of Child Support Enforcement): establish paternity and support
In Kentucky a parent can safely hand over a newborn up to Under 30 days old. Where: Hospitals, EMS providers, staffed police or fire stations, participating places of worship; newborn safety devices (baby boxes). You can stay anonymous. There are 46 Safe Haven Baby Boxes in the state.
Adoption is another loving option; a pregnancy center above can connect you with adoption help.
More centers (call to confirm)
These are listed in Heartbeat International's Option Line directory, but we couldn't confirm the phone number on the center's own website. Call before you go.
No statewide association found; raindrop.org/pcc/pcc-ky.htm (about 40 Kentucky centers) was the lead source. Eastern Kentucky coverage is thin: Pikeville's site also shows an older address (193 Main Street) in one place, so call ahead. Several numbers differ from older directory listings (e.g. Little Way, Care Net Owensboro, Richmond); the numbers here are those shown on each center's own site.
