I Don’t Want to Be Pregnant. Is Abortion My Only Option?
You may question what options you have with an unplanned pregnancy. And though abortion is a choice, it’s the only one that terminates your pregnancy.
There are other options: parenting and adoption. While neither is easy, they can be rewarding and provide the peace of mind you want. We’ll explore what you should know about each.
Parenting is a big decision, and you may have reservations. This is understandable; becoming a parent can be challenging. But you have more support than you may think.
When considering parenting, ask yourself the following questions:
Reach out to trusted loved ones who can offer guidance without judgment and pressure. They can provide a safe place to land and the support you need as you weigh this option. Life’s Choices Women’s Clinic’s staff can help you explore the parenting option and provide no-cost parenting classes and referrals to community resources.
Adoption can be overwhelming and emotional, but you’ll have the chance to form a relationship with the child and play an active role in the process. Birth parents do not pay for any adoption services; they can choose the adoptive family. The support doesn’t end there—you may receive emotional, material, and financial resources to help you during and after pregnancy.
You can choose from open, semi-open, or closed adoption plans. Each allows a different level of privacy and contact with the adoptive family, so you’ll select the plan that best suits your lifestyle and needs. No birth parent is ever pressured to make a specific adoption decision.
