“I’m pregnant and don’t know what to do.”
“I want to make the right decision, but parenting feels overwhelming.”
“If I’m not ready to be a parent, do I still have other options?”
If these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone. An unexpected pregnancy can stir up fear, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. However, the good news is that you have time and choices.
At Care Net Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque, we provide free, confidential services so you can explore your options with clarity and confidence. Schedule your appointment today to talk with someone who will listen and help you take the next step.
Understanding All Your Options
If parenting feels uncertain, remember that you can take time to learn about every path available so your decision is informed and confident, not rushed or pressured.
Each option carries different factors to consider. We will walk you through the details, helping you understand what each might look like in your situation.
What to Know About Abortion
When facing an unexpected pregnancy, abortion might seem like the quickest solution, but it’s essential to take time to understand it fully before deciding. Abortion is a procedure that can carry both physical and emotional effects, which vary from person to person.
Before making any decision, you’ll want to confirm key details about your pregnancy, such as how far along you are and whether it’s developing normally. At Care Net, we offer free, limited ultrasounds following a positive pregnancy test to help you gather this important information first.
We can also discuss potential risks and answer your questions in a safe, confidential setting. You deserve to make a decision with complete confidence and accurate information.
Considering Parenting
Parenting may initially feel impossible, especially if you’re thinking about finances, housing, school, or relationships. However, with the right resources, it can be achievable.
At Care Net, we’ll help you explore what support is available to make a plan that fits your life and goals. We can connect you with:
- Pregnancy & Parenting Education: Free classes that cover everything from pregnancy and childbirth to newborn care and parenting skills.
- Material Support: Diapers, baby clothes, formula, and other essentials to ease financial stress.
- Community Referrals: Connections to housing support, healthcare providers, childcare programs, and other resources.
Your circumstances today don’t define your future. Parenting can be both a challenge and a source of strength; you don’t have to face it alone.
Exploring Adoption
If parenting doesn’t feel like the right fit right now, adoption can be another alternative. Adoption allows you to create a plan for your child’s future while continuing to move forward with your own goals.
You’re in control of every decision, from choosing the adoptive family to deciding how much contact you’d like after placement. Whether you prefer an open, semi-open, or closed adoption, there’s a plan that can match your comfort level.
Adoption services are free to you, and medical expenses related to pregnancy and birth are typically covered. We can refer you to local adoption agencies that will guide you through every step, ensuring your voice is heard and your wishes are respected.
