You’ve already had an abortion, and you find yourself pregnant again. For numerous reasons, you have decided abortion is not your best choice.
There are two other options available to you: adoption or parenting. Both provide their own set of benefits as well as challenges.
1. Parenting
Making the choice to parent can seem overwhelming at times. It definitely is full of both difficulties and rewards.
Parenting is much easier with a good support system. If you do not have one, there are community resources that can assist with your needs.
At Resources For Women, we can provide you with a list of the referrals that would most benefit you. From financial assistance to counseling and parenting classes to affordable medical care, there are many places you can turn to in your time of need.
2. Adoption
Many families would love to raise a child but have been unable to have biological children. Adoption is a good option if you are pregnant and don’t feel you can raise your child yourself.
There are three main types of adoption:
- Closed Adoption- In a closed adoption, the adoption records are closed. That means you would not have communication with your child, nor would the adoptive family have your information.
- Open Adoption- In an open adoption, you and the adoptive family would have full communication. You would be able to be a part of your child’s life.
- Semi-Open Adoption- In this type, you would be able to know about your child, but it would be in a controlled manner. Communication is carried out through a third party, like the agency or an adoption attorney.
