An unexpected pregnancy can make several parts of your life feel connected all at once. You may be thinking about your relationship, school or work, finances, where you live, and whether you feel ready to raise a child.
Parenting, adoption, and abortion each involve very different decisions. Before choosing, give yourself the chance to learn what each one would actually mean in your circumstances.
Care Net Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque can help you ask those questions and find information and resources that apply to you. Contact us to schedule your no-cost appointment.
Start With the Questions You Already Have
Think about what is weighing on you most.
If finances are your biggest concern, find out what assistance is available before assuming parenting would be out of reach. If you’re worried about finishing school or continuing to work, look at childcare and the people who could help. If your relationship is uncertain, consider what support you would have outside your partner.
Care Net offers pregnancy and parenting classes and material aid, which may be useful if parenting is one of the options you’re considering. You may find yourself leaning toward this path more with the proper support.
What Would Adoption Look Like for You?
You may be interested in adoption but unsure how much say you would have in the process.
Modern adoption can include different levels of contact between birth and adoptive families. A licensed adoption professional can explain open, semi-open, and closed adoption, along with your legal rights and the decisions you would make during the process.
Care Net provides pre-adoption and post-adoption education. You can work with a support advocate, discuss your thoughts about adoption, and when you’re ready, they can connect you with an adoption professional.
Learning about adoption does not commit you to making an adoption plan. It just helps you make a fully informed decision.
If You’re Considering Abortion
If abortion is still among the choices you’re weighing, find out which information applies to your pregnancy.
That includes how abortion procedures work, their side effects and risks, and how gestational age can affect the procedures available.
Before making any decision, it’s crucial to gather more information about your pregnancy and health. Care Net offers pregnancy testing and limited ultrasound services performed by a licensed medical professional.
An ultrasound can provide information about how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is developing, and where the pregnancy is located. You need this information to make an educated decision and learn which options may be available.
Free & Confidential Support
You may have different concerns about each option, and that is useful information in itself.
Write down what you would need to know before you could seriously consider parenting, adoption, or abortion. Then use those questions to guide your research rather than trying to solve everything at once.
