I’ve Already had an Abortion and Don’t Want Another One. What Are My Options?

December 30, 2022

Let’s face it, no one ever wants to go through the experience of an abortion.

But what can you do if you’re pregnant again but don’t want another abortion?

Don’t worry because you have options! Below are more specifics about the options available outside of abortion.

Adoption

Did you know that there are multiple adoption types or plans? The best part? You’re in complete control, from selecting the plan, the family, and how much interaction (if any) you want to have.

Adoption Plans

There are three options for adoption (you choose what you would like to do):

Open Adoption: Completely open communication between you, the child, and the adoptive family.
Semi-Open Adoption: There is still communication, but a third party controls it. You have as little or as much contact as you want.
Closed Adoption: No communication between you, the child, or the adoptive family. All records and identifying documents are legally sealed, so you remain anonymous.

Parenting

The other available option is parenting. Maybe this is an option you’re thinking about, but you’re not sure you could raise a child because of work, school, or family. Or maybe it’s something else.

Whatever the reason, parenting can feel terrifying to think about and brings a lot of questions and worries, but we can help.

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. It really means a lot to me all what you have done, calling me and worrying about me. I felt that I wasn’t alone in this. Thanks for caring.

Thanks for the emotional support. It feels good to know there are good people out there looking out for others during the most difficult times in life. A big ‘shout out’ to this organization for catering to the needs of pregnant women.

Thank you so much for everything, especially all your support. It really made a difference having someone call and find out if things were going okay. For that, I will always be grateful.

Thank you for all of your help and encouragement. It was the most difficult time of my life. I am so grateful for your help. I have never been happier or felt so peaceful.

Without your help, I would have been afraid to face the future. The friendship and information and everything you provided. A thousand thank yous for helping so many women and their families.
