You have more options than abortion. It’s important to get the education you need about all your pregnancy options before making your final pregnancy decision. Our team at WaterLife Pregnancy Care Center is here for you.
There are two alternatives to abortion for managing an unexpected pregnancy. We’re here to offer more insight into both options.
Your Adoption Option
Do you have many preconceived ideas about adoption? That’s normal. We want to provide clarity about the adoption option and what the process looks like.
Adoption has drastically improved over the years, letting the birth mother choose what her future looks like for her child. Three types of adoptions to choose from as you consider an adoption plan include:
- Open adoption: You can choose the family you want to adopt your baby and keep in contact with them. You can decide how involved you want to be in the baby’s life together.
- Semi-open adoption: You can still have contact with the baby, but a professional adoption agency will help manage communication between you, the baby, and the adoptive family, keeping your identifying information confidential.
- Closed adoption: You won’t have contact with the baby, and all parties’ identities are kept confidential. The court keeps adoption records sealed.
Your Parenting Option
Maybe deep down, you want to parent your own child, but you have reservations. That’s totally normal to have right now, especially if you are in challenging living circumstances.
You may have questions and concerns flooding your mind right now, like:
- What if I’m a single mom?
- How can I parent and be in school?
- Will my parents/partner support me?
- Who will support me financially?
- Can I continue college and parent?
- How do I take care of a newborn?
- Can I afford childcare?
These are important questions to work through, but you don’t have to work through them alone. Our team at WaterLife Pregnancy Care Center are here to help navigate the big pregnancy option questions.
