Do you know your options in your unplanned pregnancy? Whatever fears you might have about your unplanned pregnancy, we want you to know that you have rights and options. You don’t have to make these hard decisions alone.  We know that adoption might not be the right choice for every woman, but it is an option that many women initially overlook. We’re sharing the three different options most people consider when they are unexpectedly pregnant. If you are pregnant and not sure what to do next, contact one of our care team members.

Adoption Plan

Every single birthmother has a different reason for choosing to make an adoption plan. We want to first hear your story because we know that every situation is different. Although making an adoption plan can feel like an overwhelming task, we provide resources to make it less stressful for you. You will have the option to set the level of contact with your child that is best for you. You have rights, and you will choose if you would rather have an open adoption or a closed adoption for your child. You get to write your own adoption story, and our team will help you navigate through all of your questions.

Single Parenting

Raising a child on your own isn’t easy, but it is the right choice for some women. You might face unexpected challenges as a single parent, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to accomplish your goals. It might just look a little different than you originally planned. First, consider if you can provide your child with a safe home. Also, think about whether or not you will have support from friends or family members.  Many of our birthmothers have questions about what this might look like, and we have the answers to help you make an informed decision. If you choose to be a single parent but then later decide it will be too much of a financial responsibility, you can still make an adoption plan at any time. 

Abortion

We know this topic can be hard to talk about, but we first want every person to know how deeply loved they are. If you have chosen to have an abortion, we do not condem you. In fact, we love you and want to talk with you more about how that has impacted your life. At New Beginnings, we believe that every unborn baby deserves to live a beautiful and happy life. We create resources and options for women who are unexpectedly pregnant and unsure of what to do next. We hope you will choose an alternative to abortion, and we would love to talk with you. Our hotline is open 24/7 (662-213-0369).

We know this can be a confusing time, but you don’t have to go through this alone. We help women navigate through these decisions every single day. If you’d like to learn more about your options and how New Beginnings can help you through your unexpected pregnancy, contact a member of our care team.
