If you’re faced with an unplanned pregnancy and wondering if other options are available, there are! There are many options within adoption and parenting that can be tailored to your life and meet your desired requirements.   

Is Adoption Right for Me?

Some women find adoption is the right choice for them. Several types of adoption options can be tailored to your situation and preferences.

  1. Open Adoption: This option allows for open communication and contact between you, the child, and the adoptive family you choose.

  2. Semi-Open Adoption: This choice allows communication between you, the child, and the adoptive family to occur through a third party who helps regulate contact. You have complete control of how much communication you take part in.

  3. Closed Adoption: This option provides complete confidentiality and allows you to remain anonymous, including legally sealing identifying documents.  

Is Parenting Right for Me?

Parenting is an option that some women decide is suitable for them. No matter your situation, the decision to parent is often riddled with apprehension and many questions and concerns. These feelings are normal, and many people find this apprehension dissipates after learning more about this option; gaining resources and knowledge helps them become prepared and confident.  

What Are Temporary Housing Options?

Sometimes women feel they want to parent but need a little extra time to prepare. There is an option for this too! Temporary housing, like Safe Families, allow children to be provided safe, loving accommodations until parents are ready to welcome them home, once prepared.
