Marriage

Many young people don't realize that marriage is also a viable option in a crisis pregnancy in some cases. Getting married means that your baby has the benefit of their father's name, income, and most importantly, love.

Of course, marriage requires that both individuals want to be joined in this union. At your pregnancy care center they can help both you and the father of your baby understand this option and the lasting benefits it can usher into both of your lives.

Abortion

If you are considering an abortion, we want to be honest and straightforward about what this choice could mean to your future.  We realize this often seems like the simplest of solutions, but things are not always as easy as they seem.  Study after study reveal that a majority of women who have abortions suffer from psychological distress, not to mention the short-term and long-term physical problems that accompany an abortion

Often times, people feel the need to make this decision right away, but it’s important to slow down and allow yourself time to think. Don't let anyone demand that you must have an abortion. We exist to offer you choices. There are health risks to most abortion procedures. Because of these dangers we do not recommend or refer for abortion

Adoption

Sadly, adoption is perceived to be abandoning one’s child in our society. Instead, a mother plays an active role in making an adoption plan and placing your child with a deserving couple.

Adoption is very different today from just a decade ago. You have the right to select your baby's parents, meet them and even keep in touch over the years. These changes have made the adoption option much easier to consider.

There are many reasons to consider adoption. Maybe you know in your heart that you can't take care of your baby. There's not enough time, money, or help. Maybe you already have children and one more baby would be too much stress on you! Perhaps you are just afraid and want to know more about this choice.

The good news about your situation is that there are many loving couples that would love to have a baby of their own, but can't due to infertility. They are waiting for a person like you - a person that wants to give a baby life, and share that baby with them. They want to love you and your baby and provide a strong and stable environment where you child can flourish.

Adoption may be the right choice for you! We would be glad to provide you with a referral to several adoption agencies in your area and work with you.
