Maybe you were considering abortion but have doubts, or you feel pressure about abortion but want information about all your options before making a pregnancy decision.

If you’re considering your pregnancy options other than abortion, here’s an overview to help you navigate this important decision.

Parenting

Parenting may seem daunting and even impossible. However, this is a familiar feeling for many new parents. If you have a heart to parent, you deserve the chance to explore this option thoroughly.

Ask yourself a series of questions to gauge your readiness for parenting, such as:

  • Am I financially prepared to support a child?
  • Do I have a support system of family and friends to help me?
  • Am I ready to prioritize my child’s needs above my own?
  • Do I understand the physical and emotional demands of parenting?
  • How will becoming a parent affect my personal and professional goals?
  • Am I prepared to adapt to the challenges and unpredictability of parenting?

You don’t have to have perfect answers to all these questions. Many parents start with uncertainties but grow into the role with time, education, and support. Parenting classes, online resources, and local organizations can help you prepare.

Adoption

If parenting is not the right choice for you, adoption is another option that allows you to carry your pregnancy to term without taking on parenting responsibilities. Adoption enables you to place your child with a loving, supportive family, providing them with stability and opportunities while you focus on your own goals and future.

With modern adoption, you have more control over the process than ever before. You can choose the adoptive family, determine the level of contact you wish to have (open, semi-open, or closed adoption), and work with professionals who will guide you through every step.
