Talk to someone who will listen as a personal advocate and who is willing to meet with you either in person, through text, online or on the phone.
You have the freedom to consider your options and will never be pressured as you decide what is best for you. We can provide helpful information, needed resources, personal support, mentoring, and someone to walk alongside you as you navigate.
Contacting us means you want to talk to someone about all your options. We will give you the facts accurately, so that you can make the best choice for you and your baby. We are here to support you no matter what you choose and will be here for you after you make your choice. Your options may include the following:
1. Single parenting – we will help you navigate that choice, provide you with needed resources and talk with you about what making this choice may look like in your current situation.
2. Parenting with partner/husband/family – We will talk through your current situation, what the father may be able to help you with and what your relationship with him looks like now and down the road. We will talk with you about how your family may be able to support you and what support systems you have in place.
3. Abortion – You have the right to make an informed decision about abortion. There are medical risks associated with abortion. We will discuss with you what abortion is, the medical risks involved, and what making that choice might mean for you spiritually, emotionally, physically, and long-term. While we do not refer to any abortion agency, we do encourage you to speak with your physician, your support system and will be here for you after this decision.
4. Adoption – We will provide you with a birth mom to talk to, should you wish to learn about it from someone who has made this choice. We will give you all the information needed to create an adoption plan that is entirely your plan. Adoption is a loving though difficult decision to make. We will be with you and advocate for you every step along the way. You can change your mind at any time up until you sign the final paperwork. You will NEVER be pressured to choose adoption.
Adoption means choosing to place your child with a family of your choice to raise. We will discuss with you how the father fits into this decision. You are in control. You can decide what you want in a family. You can look at family profile books (these are like family scrap books which give you photos and information about each family). You can decide whether you want to meet several families in person or online during your decision process. Once you decide on the family, you have many choices to think through and talk about. We will be there with you and advocate for you during the process, after the birth of your child and beyond. All agency fees are provided free.
This is your life, your choice and your plan to make. Only you can decide what is best for you.
We are here for you as you navigate what may be the biggest decision of your life.
