I Don’t Want To Be Pregnant. Is Abortion My Only Option?

November 28, 2022

If you’re experiencing an unintended pregnancy and considering all your options, adoption and parenting may have crossed your mind. It can be difficult to make this decision alone; that’s why reaching out to your local pregnancy center or someone you trust can be helpful and comforting. Understanding all your options is useful when making such an important decision.

What Will Adoption Be Like?

Adoption can be a bittersweet experience, but an array of options are available to fit your lifestyle and comfort. Some options include:

Open adoption
Semi-Open adoption
Closed adoption

Some options provide complete flexibility in communication between you and the family and child. Others allow less communication or contact depending on what you feel is right for you.

Although adoption can be difficult, it can also give joy to a hopeful couple hoping to complete their family. Adoption should be thoroughly discussed with individuals you trust or a local pregnancy center so you can decide if this option is right for you.

What Does Parenting Look Like?

Individuals from all walks of life become nervous and scared when they discover they will be parents. These are natural and expected emotions to experience. No parent is perfect either; we all stumble or make mistakes. Additionally, some people find their situation challenging to provide for their children, despite wanting to be parents. No matter what you’re feeling or your circumstances, it’s important to understand there is never a perfect scenario, and there is no wrong emotion to feel, and we’re here to help.

Here at Birthright of Greater Hartford, we connect you with the resources and education you need to succeed as a parent and thrive in your new role. By sitting down to thoroughly discuss this option, you will have a better understanding of whether it’s the right choice for you.

Thank you for being there from day one of my pregnancy. If it weren’t for you, my boyfriend and I probably would’ve made the wrong decision. I really appreciate the help and the information that was really important for me to know.

From the time when I was unsure of my pregnancy until after my pregnancy you’ve encouraged me and assured me that everything will work out.

I never wanted an abortion but I might have had one had it not been for you. You made a difference in my life.

I am so happy that I am going to have a beautiful son. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t been there for me. You were there for me when no one else was.

Thank you for all of your help and encouragement during my pregnancy. It was the most difficult time of my life. I am so grateful I did not take the “easy” way out of a tough situation by having an abortion.

I just want to thank you for all you have done for me. I could not have done it on my own and I really appreciate the help you gave. I think it is a great thing you’re doing.

I write this short note thanking you guys for your support. Your support has really helped me along the way. Knowing that someone cared enough to call and wonder about me really made me feel good.

Thank you for taking the time to care and make that call that always made my day. Thank you a million times.

I don’t remember what was said on my visit to Birthright, but I do remember one thing: RELIEF. I think I actually smiled that night. At the time, my world was coming to an end. After coming to Birthright, a strength filled me. That is making a difference!

Thank you for being there since day one when I did my pregnancy test. It is nice to know there are still good people around. I can’t thank you enough for your support.
