Adoption
One of the more difficult situations a woman can face is an unplanned pregnancy, especially if she is young and single. Financial concerns, lack of insurance, or the responsibilities of being a single mom may seem to severely limit her options. If a woman finds herself in this situation, none of the options she has is going to be an "easy out."
An alternative to abortion or parenting is making an adoption plan. It is a decision that takes courage and maturity on the part of the birth mother, and it involves putting the needs and best interests of the child ahead of the birth mother's own interests.
We invite you to take some time to look at the information presented on adoption - facts about single parenting, misconceptions about adoption, the various options for adoption plans, and your rights and responsibilities. Please feel free to follow whatever links are of interest to you. There is no obligation to you to make any decisions at this point. We are available to you free of charge to answer questions or discuss concerns you may have about your options regarding your pregnancy.
