In their Baby Care section, Mother's Choice cares for up to 32 babies at a time, ranging from newborns up to age two. In their Wee Care section, the charity cares for up to 12 children from newborns up to age 6 with a wide range of special needs.[2]
Adoption Services
In collaboration with the Social Welfare Department of Hong Kong, Mother's Choice provides local and international adoption services and advocates for their babies and children to join their forever families as soon as possible.[3]

Mother's Choice also provides temporary residential family care to children under 18 years of age whose parents cannot adequately care for them due to various reasons. The charity cares for 80 children through its Foster Care services.[4]
