Facing an unplanned pregnancy? It’s important to know that you have options other than abortion—these options include parenting and adoption.
At Life Choices Medical Clinic, we understand that navigating your pregnancy options can feel overwhelming. However, learning all you can about each choice will make the process easier.

Learn All You Can to Be Informed
Getting informed is the best way to gain clarity. The more you know about your pregnancy options, the more you will be able to make an educated decision, free from the opinions of others.
Adoption
Adoption is a pregnancy decision that is full of options. When you choose adoption, you will work with an adoption agency or attorney to create an adoption plan. This customizable document essentially outlines your goals and desires for the adoption process.
Do you want to maintain a relationship with the adoptive family and child? Then open adoption might be right for you.
Do you want to have a relationship with them but protect your identifying information? Then semi-open adoption might be your best fit.
You also have the choice to remain anonymous throughout the adoption process with closed adoption, but this option is rare today.
Parenting
Do you have a heart to parent? If the answer is yes, then you owe it to yourself to fully explore this option. In fact, many women in your shoes have chosen to parent and found it to be the best decision they could have made.
Are worries about your current circumstances preventing you from fully exploring this option? While finances, being young, and having a lack of support are all factors that might make you feel like parenting is impossible, it’s critical to keep in mind that circumstances change.
If you take small steps in the right direction, you can work toward your goals while parenting—and do both successfully.
