The Magdalene Home is more than a maternity home. We
provide a safe and nurturing environment for pregnant mothers as they are
trained and equipped to fulfill God's purpose in their life. It’s an environment
where women find loving support both emotionally and spiritually through their
pregnancies. The girls at Magdalene Home are able to continue their education,
receive medical care and counseling, and experience camaraderie with other
girls in the house. Because our staff understands that choosing between
parenting and adoption is such a difficult and personal decision, we offer
support for either choice and help to lay a foundation for success for both the
mother and her child. This home is open to those who genuinely desire to learn
and to prepare for their future and for their baby’s future.
The Magdalene Home is a real home with bedrooms, bathrooms, and living area. The house parents live in the
home with the young moms. Traditional family living includes having meals as a “family,” attending church on
Sunday morning, barbecues, fun outings, and more. Each mom also has a chance to grow emotionally,
academically and spiritually through carefully planned programs.
Wendi
has lived in Tyler for over 11 years and has 4 children (2 natural born and 2
adopted) and 2 foster children. She was been blessed to run a successful mortgage business
until 2007 when she then decided to home school her children. Four years later, God brought the
first of two adoptions into her life and another just 19 months later. Wendi is a public speaker at
youth camps, women’s conferences and lady’s retreats and ministers on the subject of sexual
abuse. A survivor of childhood sexual abuse at the hand of her father, a Baptist preacher, Wendi
has had a journey through a dark side of life and has found healing in her Savior, Jesus Christ.
Her desire is to help see healing and restoration in the lives of other young women and to be a
vessel through which many families experience the miracle of adoption.
