Abortion Alternatives
When your pregnancy is unplanned, your first thought may well be to have an abortion and be done with your problem. However, "quick fixes" seldom pan out the way you want them to. Once you have had an abortion, there is no way to undo it. Abortions are final and hundreds of thousands of women who have had them never forget. The experience and guilt haunts them for years, maybe for lifetime.
Many women who carry a baby to term will choose to parent. But a significant number who face an unplanned pregnancy know they either lack the resources to raise a child, or their career/ educational plans do not allow them to parent a child responsibly. They have ruled out parenting on their own, but may consider adoption.
Finding just the right adoptive family for your child could be one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life and the life of your child. Don't decide until you've weighed all factors and talked things over with someone you trust. At Bethany, a caring and compassionate counselor can walk you through both options and show how each one will likely impact your future life.
Did you know that many birthmoms who choose adoption today draw up a Hospital Plan. It's true! Such a plan allows them time to hold and name their baby, and place him or her in the arms of the adoptive couple?
Abortion on the other hand, denies a mother to ever know her baby, and she misses the opportunity to see him or her develop. No one can ever go back on an abortion.
