An unexpected pregnancy is an emotional experience, and you might think abortion is your only choice. However, there are other options worth considering.
Parenting and adoption are two alternatives that involve carrying your pregnancy to term, and both offer unique challenges and rewards.
At Peak Women’s Care, we’re here to provide information and support so you can make a decision that aligns with your circumstances. Let’s take a closer look at these options.
Considering Parenting
Parenting is a significant decision, and feeling uncertain or unprepared is natural. Becoming a parent is a journey, and you don’t need all the answers immediately.
Many resources are available to help you navigate parenting, from support groups to financial assistance and educational tools. To help you determine if this is the right choice for you, consider asking yourself:
- Do I have supportive people in my life to help me?
- Am I emotionally and financially ready for parenthood?
- How does parenting align with my personal and professional goals?
- Am I willing to adjust my lifestyle to fit the responsibilities of raising a child?
While parenting comes with challenges, it’s essential to know that pursuing an education, career goals, or financial stability is still possible while being a parent.
Considering Adoption
Adoption is a loving option that allows you to carry your pregnancy to term while giving your child a hopeful future. With modern adoption, you have more control than ever. You can:
- Choose the adoptive family for your child.
- Decide on the level of contact you want, whether open, semi-open, or closed.
- Work with adoption professionals who support you throughout the process.
Adoption can feel intimidating, but it’s an option filled with opportunities for you and your child. Speaking with an adoption counselor can provide clarity and address your concerns.
While Peak Women’s Care doesn’t provide adoption services, we can connect you with trusted adoption agencies to guide you through the process.
