Adoption
If you are not ready to be a parent, you can still give your baby the gift of life by choosing adoption. Bethany will work with you to select a stable, loving family to care for your baby. After birth, you can see your baby, name your baby, and spend time with your baby. If you so choose, you can get updates on your child's progress or have ongoing visit throughout your child's life while you continue your education or career.
