Are There More Options Than Abortion?

If you have an unplanned pregnancy, abortion isn’t the only option. Parenting and adoption require continuing your pregnancy, but both have different outcomes.

Soundview can help guide you through the decision-making process. We’ll discuss your options and provide accurate information on each. It’s your decision.

Your Other Options

Being informed about parenting and adoption is crucial. Making an informed choice helps you better understand your future and what to expect.

Parenting

When you choose parenting, you’ll carry your pregnancy, give birth, and raise your child. Though it’s a big responsibility, being a parent is often a joy-filled, rewarding experience. The bond you’ll share with your child is unlike any other.

Choosing to parent is a big decision, so it’s crucial to ask yourself questions like:

• What resources do I need to parent successfully?
• Can I provide a safe and suitable living environment for a child?
• Will the child’s father be involved?
• Do I already have a support system in place? If not, do I know where I can find support?

Reviewing the answers to these questions can help you learn what you’d need to be a parent. If you select this option, you won’t be alone.

We walk alongside you when you choose parenting. Soundview will act as a support system, help you find resources, provide social work consultations as needed, and supply material assistance through our parenting program.

Adoption

Much has changed about adoption, and as the birth mother, you are in control. You’ll carry your pregnancy, give birth, and place your child in a loving family.

Selecting adoption doesn’t mean you’ve “abandoned” or “given up” your child. You’re making the sacrificial choice to provide a stable family for them.

We’ll help you learn about adoption and the available options. You can select an open adoption, which allows you to form a relationship with your child and their adoptive family. A semi-open adoption (if you desire contact through a third party) or a closed adoption (if you want complete privacy) is also an option.

You’ll never pay for adoption expenses, and your medical costs will be covered. We can help you understand your rights during this process and refer you to adoption resources as needed.
