Are you feeling uneasy about an abortion decision? Maybe you are worried about the risks. You deserve the facts about your other two alternatives: adoption and parenting.

Take a breath and slow down for a moment. Explore and gather more information about adoption and parenting to make a confident decision for your future. We’re here to better educate and walk alongside you.

Your Two Other Options

1. Adoption

The process of adoption is very misunderstood. Women believe strangers take their children away, and they never see them again. Nothing can be further from the truth.

As the birth mother, you get to choose a potential adoptive couple and the future you want for your child. You also have three adoption plans to choose from:

Open adoption: With this plan, the birth mother can choose the child’s adoptive family and form a relationship with them. Communication can occur through phone calls, letters, or regular visits.
Semi-open adoption: The birth mother has contact with the adoptive family, but all communication is carried out via a third party, like an adoption agency or attorney.
Closed adoption: The most private plan, a closed adoption ensures that all identifying records are sealed. The birth mother remains anonymous, with no contact between her and the adoptive family.

Choose the adoption plan that makes sense for you, and talk to us today to learn more about them.

Darke County Pregnancy Help Center can provide helpful information and connect you with a reputable adoption agency to get you started.
