If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and wonder about your options. While abortion is often discussed, it’s important to know there are other paths to consider.
At 1st Way Pregnancy Support Center, we’re here to provide you with the information and support you need to explore all your choices and make a decision that’s right for you. Read on to learn more, or contact our office to schedule your free, confidential appointment.
What Are My Options?
Parenting
Choosing to parent may feel daunting, but if you’re considering this option, the most important question is: Do I want to parent? If the answer is yes, even just a little bit, you owe it to yourself to fully explore this option.
While you may be worried about not having what you need to make this option a reality, supportive resources are available to help you feel prepared to succeed—including parenting classes, financial assistance, and material support like diapers and baby clothes.
At 1st Way, we offer educational programs and practical resources to empower you to embrace parenthood confidently—and we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
Adoption
Adoption is another option to consider if parenting isn’t the right choice for you right now. While many movies portray adoption as the idea of anonymously placing your baby on a doorstep, this isn’t an accurate picture of modern adoption.
Today, adoption is all about choices and giving you control over what you want to happen. In fact, this option allows you to provide your child with a loving home while maintaining a connection if you wish.
While we don’t perform adoption services, our team can help you explore adoption and connect you with reputable agencies in our area.
Tips for Determining the Right Decision
While looking at your options can feel overwhelming, the following tips can help:
- Gather information: Don’t rush into a decision. Instead, take the time to learn about each option, including the emotional and practical aspects. This knowledge will help you feel more confident in your choice.
- Reflect on your values: Consider your personal beliefs, goals, and circumstances. What aligns best with your values and future plans?
- Seek support: Talk with trusted friends, family members, or counselors who can provide guidance without judgment. A supportive network can help you process your feelings and think through your decision.
- Visit 1st Way Pregnancy Support Center: Our compassionate team offers free, confidential consultations to help you explore your options and can connect you with resources tailored to your needs.
