Whether you experienced negative health effects from your last abortion or you just simply don’t want another one, you should know that there are a variety of other options when facing an unexpected pregnancy. 

Continue reading to learn more about adoption, parenting, and temporary assistance so you can make an informed decision.

Adoption

Maybe you have considered adoption but are afraid of what others might think. Know that many women find that adoption provides the peace of mind they seek. You should make the decision you feel most comfortable with.

The three common types of modern adoption include: 

  • Open adoption: You can choose the family you want to adopt your baby and decide if you want to keep in contact with them. You can also choose how involved you want to be in the baby’s life.
  • Semi-open adoption: You can still have contact with the family and baby, but a professional adoption agency will help manage communication and keep your identifying information confidential.
  • Closed adoption: You won’t have contact with the baby, and the identities of all parties are kept confidential. The court keeps adoption records sealed.

Some women are hesitant to choose adoption because they’re unsure if they have the finances. You should know that your pregnancy-related medical expenses will be paid for in full by the adoption agency or the adoptive family, and you may also qualify for additional assistance with groceries and rent. 

LifeLine Pregnancy Center will discuss your questions and concerns about adoption. We know there’s a lot of information to consider, so we’ll help you find clarity. 

Parenting

Maybe you want to become a parent but are unsure if you have the necessary resources and support. 

If you’re searching for assistance and additional support, LifeLine Pregnancy Center can connect you with a variety of resources, including: 

  • Support groups/parenting classes 
  • Health insurance assistance 
  • Child Care assistance 
  • Baby essentials

While some of these resources can help ease the financial burden of parenting, joining a support group or attending parenting classes can also help you build a support system for your motherhood journey. 

We’ll discuss this option so you can make a confident choice.

Temporary Assistance

Do your current circumstances make it feel like it would be impossible to bring your baby home? If you want to parent but need some time to prepare for your baby, temporary assistance might be a good option for you. 

Safe Families can connect you with volunteer families that can care for your baby until you can bring them home.
