First Born® is home visitation for women pregnant for the first time, families parenting for the first time and families adopting their first baby. Services may begin any time during pregnancy, at the birth of the baby, and until the baby is two months of age. Services include support, education, assessment, service coordination and advocacy. All services are free and may continue until the baby is five years of age.
