After discovering an unexpected pregnancy, it’s natural to be uncertain about what to do. Your first instinct may tell you that an abortion is the only way out, but it’s not the only option available to you. Whether you’re considering parenting or adoption, understanding all your choices can help you make a confident, informed decision about your future.

At New Life Family Outreach, we’re here to offer support, resources, and the information you need to navigate this moment. Keep reading to explore your options, or make a free appointment today to speak with someone who cares.

1: Parenting

The thought of parenting may bring concerns about money, relationships, or personal goals, but the most important question to ask yourself is: Do I want to parent? If even a small part of you says yes, taking the time to explore this option is worth it.

Many women worry they won’t have the support or resources they need to raise a child. The good news is that programs are available to help with essentials like housing, healthcare, and financial assistance. New Life Family Outreach offers pregnancy testing, sonograms, and material support to help provide the foundation you need to step into parenthood with confidence.

2: Adoption

For those who aren’t in a place to parent but want to give their child a future filled with love and stability, adoption is an option that provides both. Many people still picture adoption as a closed-door decision, but today’s adoption process is built around choices. You can decide what type of adoption works best for you—open, semi-open, or closed—and even choose the family who will raise your child.

While New Life Family Outreach is not an adoption agency, we can help connect you with trusted agencies that can guide you through the process and ensure your wishes are respected.

Deciding What’s Right for You

If you’re unsure about what path to take, here are a few steps that can help bring clarity:

• Take your time: Rushed decisions can lead to regret. Give yourself space to process and gather the information you need.
• Consider your future: Think about your personal goals, values, and circumstances. Which option aligns with what you want for yourself and your child?
• Talk to someone you trust: Whether it’s a close friend, family member, or us at New Life Family Outreach, discussing your thoughts with someone who listens without judgment can provide a new perspective you might not have considered.
