You Have Other Options
Abortion may seem like the simplest solution, but it’s important to consider the potential emotional and physical effects. Taking time to learn about adoption and parenting can help you feel more in control of your decision.
Considering Adoption
Adoption is an option where you will continue your pregnancy but can create a plan for your child’s future. Many women worry that adoption means losing control, but today’s adoption process gives you choices. As the birth mother, you can:
- Choose the adoptive family
- Decide how much contact you want with your child
- Receive financial assistance for pregnancy-related expenses
Adoption plans can be:
- Open – Ongoing contact with your child and their adoptive family
- Semi-Open – Communication through a third party, like an adoption agency
- Closed – No identifying information or contact after placement
Adoption should cost you nothing. We have a network of credible and professional adoption agencies we can refer you to in the area. In addition to a list of approved agencies, we provide free educational resources.
Thinking About Parenting
Parenting could seem impossible at first, but many women find strength and support in unexpected places. Free parenting resources are available to help you navigate challenges and provide for your child. Consider these questions:
- Who in your life can support you emotionally and practically?
- What financial and community resources are available?
- How could parenting fit into your personal and professional goals?
- Have you ever had a desire to parent?
Many women have doubts about parenting in the beginning, but you don’t have to know everything right away. Parenting is a learning process. With the right support, it can be possible.

If you pursue adoption, we offer referrals to credible and professional adoption agencies in the area and free educational resources.
