An unexpected pregnancy can be a confusing time that leaves you wondering what is possible for you and your future. It’s important to know that you have options. While abortion is one choice, it is not the only path available.
At Care Net of Carbon County, we offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore all of your options. We are here to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision for yourself.
Exploring Your Options
Abortion may seem like the only way out, but it’s a significant decision that requires careful consideration. It’s essential to explore all your options before making a choice. Understanding the emotional and physical implications of abortion, along with alternatives like adoption and parenting, can empower you with knowledge.
Adoption
Adoption may seem complex, but today’s adoption process is flexible and built around your preferences. As the birth mother, you have control over the decisions and the type of adoption that works best for you. Additionally, adoption services are available at no cost to you, and financial assistance may be provided for medical and living expenses.
There are three types of adoption to consider:
- Open Adoption: Stay connected with your child and their adoptive family through visits, phone calls, or updates.
- Semi-Open Adoption: Maintain communication through an adoption agency or attorney.
- Closed Adoption: Your personal information remains confidential, and there is no contact after placement.
Adoption is a deeply personal choice, but it is also a loving act that offers both you and your child a future filled with possibilities.
Parenting
The thought of parenting may feel impossible, especially if this pregnancy was unexpected. However, you don’t have to face this alone. There are resources and support systems available to help you navigate this journey.
If you’re considering parenting, here are a few things to think about:
- Support system: Do you have a partner, family, or friends who can help? Are there community resources available?
- Financial readiness: Are there programs that assist with medical care, childcare, or other essential needs?
- Personal goals: How can parenting fit into your education, career, or other life plans?
Parenting comes with challenges, but it also brings great rewards. With the right support, you can feel confident in taking this step.
