Adoption As An Option

If you are experiencing an untimely or unplanned pregnancy, consider making the third choice of adoption instead of abortion or parenting. Placing a child for adoption means trusting the adoptive parents of your choice to provide for him or her the life you wish you could. Adoption can be a triple blessing: to the child, to the adoptive parents who cannot have a biological child, and to you if you

are not ready or equipped to parent. Being a single parent is not what most women want. This is especially true if you already have a child, like Jennifer, “I was already raising a two year old, and I knew I couldn’t raise a second one by myself. I felt like all of us would be shortchanged. I was already stretched very thin financially and time-wise. I felt that if I raised this second child, I would not be able to provide for or keep a roof over all of our heads; my two year old would not see me because I would need to work two jobs; and the baby wouldn’t get what he or she needed, either. I wanted something better for all of us!”

One of the more common reasons to choose adoption is because you feel unprepared emotionally to parent a child at this time or due to your current situation. Maybe you have personal goals or dreams you wish to or are pursuing, like finishing your education. Maybe you want to be in a committed relationship before starting a family. Perhaps you had a difficult childhood yourself and do not want that for your child. Maybe your boyfriend has abandoned you and you lack the necessary support system to raise a child alone. Or, maybe you just do not want to be a parent, yet. You may encounter pressure from your friends, family, or the community to either get an abortion or raise the child. But choosing adoption, the third choice, can provide a loving solution to your situation. If you are interested in learning more about adoption for your child, please contact:
