I don’t want to be pregnant. Is abortion my only option?

Your situation is unique, and your feelings are valid. It’s important to remember that you have choices beyond just abortion. Whatever reason you don’t want to consider abortion, your decision is personal and legitimate. Considering your circumstances and beliefs, your decision should reflect what feels right for you.

Parenting

Parenting is an option to consider, although it comes with its own set of challenges and joys. Raising a child demands time, effort, and resources, but many find immense satisfaction in watching their child grow. Caring for Women Pregnancy Center can offer parenting classes, material resources, and connections to community support services that can make this journey smoother. We can help by:

• Providing parenting classes that cover essential skills, from diaper changing to budgeting for your new family
• Offering material resources like baby clothing, diapers, and other necessities to help lighten the financial burden
• Connecting you with community referrals, linking you to local resources such as healthcare providers, childcare services, and support groups.
• Creating a network of understanding individuals who are there to provide emotional support and assistance

Adoption

Adoption is another alternative to abortion that you might want to explore. With adoption, you carry your pregnancy to term, give birth to your child, and then place them in the care of a loving adoptive family. This choice can reflect your desire to give your child a chance while pursuing your goals.

There are various types of adoption plans available.

• Open adoption—enables you to maintain a connection with your child and the adoptive family, receiving updates and even visiting, depending on what you’re comfortable with.
• Semi-open adoption—allows you to communicate with the adoptive family through a third party while maintaining confidentiality.
• Closed adoption—offers greater privacy by sealing the birth mother’s information and that of the adoptive family. No communication between the parties takes place.

Your involvement level depends on your comfort level and what you think is best for you and your child.
