It is important to remember that the final decision regarding the outcome of your pregnancy is yours alone. No one can force you to have an abortion against your will, and it may be unlawful for someone to try to do so. This is your decision and you should carefully consider all of your options so that you can feel comfortable with your choice.
How Should I Feel?
There is no easy answer to this question. Feelings are ever-changing and vary from person to person.. Many women feel nervous and scared when they find out they’re pregnant, even when the pregnancy was planned. Other feelings may include confusion, worry and excitement.. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Mixed emotions are to be expected and allowing yourself the time to process all of your feelings is essential before determining what is best for you.
What Are My Options?
Today, every woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy has three options, which include abortion, adoption, and parenting. Each of these options can be tailored to fit you and your lifestyle.
Modern adoption strongly encourages open plans in which you choose parents to be the caretakers and guardians of your child, but you remain an integral part of your child’s life and story.
Parenting can include temporary care options, such as Safe Families, where a trusted and loving family cares for your child until you feel prepared to welcome them home and begin parenting more independently.
