It’s completely normal to have questions and concerns when you’re dealing with an unexpected pregnancy. You may feel pressure to make a quick decision, but knowing that you have more than one option is important. Abortion may seem the fastest solution, but parenting and adoption are also valid choices that deserve equal attention and support.
At Women’s Resource Center, we’re here to help you explore all your options through no-cost, confidential services—so you can make an informed decision reflecting your values, goals, and what matters most to you.
Considering Parenting
Choosing to parent may feel like a big step, especially if this pregnancy wasn’t planned. You may wonder if you’re ready, have support, or how you’ll afford everything. These questions are valid, but they don’t mean you’re not capable. Many women who once felt unsure have gone on to thrive as mothers with the right support system in place.
The first question to ask yourself is: Do I want to be a parent? If the answer is yes, or even maybe, then it’s worth taking the time to see what resources are available to help you succeed.
At Women’s Resource Center, we provide parenting education programs, material assistance (like diapers, baby clothes, and other essentials), and referrals for financial aid and community support. These services are designed to equip you for parenthood, not pressure you into it. You don’t have to figure everything out at once. Step by step, we’ll walk with you as you learn, grow, and prepare.
Considering Adoption
If parenting isn’t the right fit for you at this time, adoption is another meaningful choice to consider. While adoption used to be viewed as giving something up, today it’s seen as giving something more—a secure, loving future for your child.
Modern adoption allows you to remain in control. You can choose the adoptive family, decide how much contact you’d like to have after placement, and create a plan that feels right for you. Whether that’s open adoption (with ongoing updates or visits), semi-open, or close (confidential), the decision is entirely yours.
Adoption also gives you the opportunity to pursue your personal goals while still giving your child a life filled with love, stability, and opportunity. It’s a courageous, thoughtful decision that reflects deep care and long-term perspective.
At Women’s Resource Center, we don’t provide adoption services directly, but we do partner with reputable adoption professionals and agencies. We can connect you with someone who will walk you through the process, answer your questions, and support you as you decide if adoption is the right step for you.
