Adoption Option
An unplanned pregnancy can
find you at a time in your life when you are not ready to
parent. But, the reality is that being pregnant means you are
already a parent. One of the most difficult jobs as a parent is
to make decisions that are in the best interest of your child.
One of those parenting choices may be to place your child,
through adoption, into a two parent home that has planned for
and is waiting for a child. Adoption is a loving, mature, and
unselfish choice.
Besides possibly being the
best option for your child, adoption offers you:
-
The ability to pursue
earlier goals and plans
-
Not having to parent
prematurely
-
Freedom from the financial
burdens of parenting
-
Freedom to choose whether
you want to have a long term relationship with the baby’s
father
-
Ability to resume your
education or career
-
Knowledge that your
pregnancy ends with giving life
Most people have
misinformation about how adoption works. Many times those
facing an unplanned pregnancy are not aware of the control they
have in the adoption process. Birth mothers can select the
family of their child and exchange information as the child
grows. Young women who work through full service adoption
agencies have access to continued education and job training,
counseling, private medical care and thorough legal services.
