What about Adoption?

Some women choose adoption for many reasons:

• Feel conflicted about abortion but not ready to parent
• Desire for a two-parent home for the child
• Eliminates delays in pursuing life goals
• Improved financial support for a child
• More mature and stable parenting

​You may not have considered adoption if you are facing an unplanned pregnancy. However, you may be surprised to learn that you have lots of choices with adoption. 

The first thing you should know about adoption is that a lot has changed since years past and it may not be what you think it is. Today the adoption process empowers the birthmother with countless choices.  A woman considering this option is able to choose the family, where they live, religious background, economic level, whatever is important to her. Family options are endless. There are an estimated 2 million families waiting each year to adopt. In most instances there is no cost to the birthmother. In today’s adoptions, you can know your child and be a part of your child’s life. You can have the peace of knowing you are giving your child a future.​

​If you’re considering adoption, you have many options. You will decide:

• Whether to be a part of selecting the adoptive parents
• If you want a relationship with your child
• Between an open or closed adoption
• To make it a private or agency adoption

Each year thousands of women in America are choosing adoption and are proud about their decision. Some women do not feel ready to parent and see adoption as an option that benefits everyone involved. Researching your options is a smart step to take. This is a choice that you need to think about carefully, but if you can’t parent, no matter what the reason, adoption may be the right choice for you.
