What Are My Options?

- Parenting: If you choose this option, not only will you be able to watch your child grow up, you will be preparing yourself for one of the greatest and most rewarding experiences ever. However, a lot of responsibilities come with parenting, which you must realize now and accept. Parenting is a lifelong commitment to your child, promising him or her the best care possible, undying love, financial, physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Your main question right now should be whether or not you are prepared to take on this kind of responsibility at this point in your life. Will you have the needed support from loved ones necessary to carry you through this?
If parenting your child is not possible, adoption may be your best choice. Even if you have any doubt in your mind right now, or your answer is "no" to the above question, take a look at your second option.
- Adoption: If this is your choice, you will still have to go through your pregnancy. During this process, the placement of your child with another family will occur. You can even help in determining which home might be best for your child, and choose to have ongoing contact after the placement. You need to be comfortable knowing your child is in good hands, and who better to determine that than you?
