You basically have 3 choices:  

1.  Parent your baby yourself (Ready to be a mom or NOT!)  
2.  Have an abortion (This may not be an acceptable option for you!) OR
3.  Adoption – Choose a family to adopt your baby.  

That’s it in a nutshell.

Oh, there is a fourth option:  Curl up in a corner, do nothing and wait for life to happen to you.  I have a feeling you’re not that type though because here you are -- on the net looking for information and searching for answers.  Good for you!  You’ve come to the right place.  We are here to help you find answers to your questions about all 3 of your options - parenting, abortion and adoption.  For great info, click on the "What are my Choices?" button above.

If you decide on the adoption choice, we have tons of information about adopting and adoption.  Open adoption for example.  You may have heard about that.  We can tell you more.  People who want to be parents are hoping to adopt a child.  If you’re doing an adoption search to find parents to adopt your child, you can find adoptive families here – in fact, the perfect adoptive family for you!  With our help and our partner adoption agencies, you will find that one unique and special adoptive couple.  An adoption agency may not be the answer for you.  Perhaps an adoption attorney or adoption lawyer would be a good choice for you.  We can help you find the perfect adoption match that’s right for you.

Whether you place your child for adoption, choose abortion or parent your child yourself, the most important thing is that you consider ALL of your options and make sure that you make the right choice for you and your baby.  It’s a BIG decision.
