It can feel like an impossible situation sometimes when you’re experiencing an unexpected pregnancy, and it’s natural to wonder if abortion is your only option. However, there are other paths to consider.
Parenting and adoption are both alternatives that allow you to carry your pregnancy to term and can be deeply meaningful choices.
If you’re looking for a supportive space to explore your options, Safe Harbor Women’s Medical Clinic provides compassionate, in-person support. We’re dedicated to helping you gather the information you need to make a well-informed decision that suits your unique situation.
Could I be a Parent?
Parenting is a major decision, and it’s normal to feel uncertain whether you’re ready. No one starts out fully prepared; becoming a parent is a gradual learning experience. There are resources available to support you as you navigate this journey.
Before choosing this path, ask yourself questions like:
- Do I have support systems in place to help me?
- Am I emotionally and financially prepared for parenthood?
- How would parenting align with my personal or career goals?
- Am I willing to make lifestyle changes to prioritize a child?
Parenthood is a commitment, but it doesn’t mean putting your dreams on hold. With planning and support, you can continue pursuing your education, career, or financial goals.
What to Know About Adoption
Modern adoption offers flexibility and empowerment, giving you control over the process. Whether you’d prefer ongoing contact with your child and their adoptive family or complete privacy, adoption can be customized to your comfort level. You can also choose the family you feel best suits your child’s future.
Adoption may feel like a big step, but it’s a caring choice that provides a promising future for your child. Consulting an adoption counselor can provide detailed information and help address any questions or concerns you might have.
While Safe Harbor Women’s Medical Clinic doesn’t provide direct adoption services, we can connect you with reputable adoption agencies to help you explore this option.
