An unexpected pregnancy can be isolating and overwhelming. You may feel like abortion is the only option for you. Although abortion may seem like the right choice for you, no abortion comes without physical and mental health risks.

Abortion is final. So, if you’re having doubts, know that there are other options.

Read on to learn information that can help you confidently make the best decision for your future.

Parenting

Choosing to become a parent might seem scary, but you are not alone in how you feel. Even the most prepared adult doesn’t feel ready to have a child.

Maybe you feel like you don’t have the support you need to raise a child or that having a baby will put a stop to your schooling or career goals.

If you’re feeling pressured to choose between becoming a parent or accomplishing your goals, know that it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

There are many helpful community resources available to support you and make it possible for you to be a parent and continue to pursue your dreams.

Community resources include:

  • Parenting classes
  • Support groups
  • Child care assistance
  • Free diapers and formula

Even though being a parent is a big responsibility, these programs can help support you in the journey of raising your child while pursuing and fulfilling your dreams.

Adoption

Due to recent law changes in the past few years, adoption in America is now designed to empower the birth mother, providing her with more choices in how involved she wants to be in her baby’s life.

The types of adoptions you can choose from:

  • Open adoption: You can pick the family you want to adopt your baby and decide how involved you want to be in your child’s life.
  • Semi-open adoption: You are able to contact the adoptive family and your baby through a professional adoption agency while keeping your personal information confidential.
  • Closed adoption: You have no contact with your baby or the adoptive family, and the adoptive family has no contact with you. All adoptive information is sealed by the court.

Along with getting to choose the type of adoption you want, adoption can also relieve some of the financial burden of pregnancy. Typically, your medical appointments and hospital stay are paid for in full as part of the adoption process.

Choosing adoption relieves you of the responsibility of raising your baby and gives you the freedom to decide how involved you want to be in the baby’s life.
