Abortion Alternatives — Adoption is an Option
By the numbers, abortion is a popular, though dangerous, approach to dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. If you are considering abortion, it’s crucial that you gather as much information as possible about pregnancy, the abortion procedure, the risks and the procedure’s physical and emotional effects on women.
If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy you may feel so trapped that you think abortion is your only option. True, abortion has the quickest results, but there are other choices to be considered.
- Parenting – You may choose to raise your child with or without the help of others.
- Adoption – You may choose to select a family to legally adopt and raise your child. Visit our adoption information page to learn more about this option.
- Abortion – You may choose to surgically or medically terminate (end) your pregnancy.
Often times the right thing to do is the hardest thing to do. Are you looking to make the decision that feels "right" deep inside or just take the fastest and easiest option?
If parenting is not for you at this time, we hope you’ll consider adoption for your baby and take a few minutes to read our letter of introduction. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your options with you and help you envision a life with our family if you choose adoption for your child.
Visit our adoption information page to learn more about the types of adoption. We’ve also compiled information about your rights as a birthparent.
Whatever your age you have the legal right to choose what you want to do. However, it’s very important that you consider all your options and make the decision that is not only best for you, but for your child as well.
