If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy and deciding what to do, we’re glad you’re taking time to learn about your options. Many women assume their only choice is an abortion, and don’t take the time to consider other options. Let’s review what else is available to you.
What Could Parenting Look Like?
Single parenting may seem out of reach if you’re no longer with your partner or due to your relationship dynamic. However, an unplanned pregnancy doesn’t mean parenting is impossible. Mosaic offers many services and referrals for parenting assistance.
You could potentially receive assistance with:
- Housing options
- Childcare costs
- Material resources such as baby supplies, diapers, and formula
- Free peer counseling
- Life skills training
- Nutrition education
- Medical care
Our counselors can answer any questions and ensure you have the support you need to parent successfully. Raising a child is challenging but also rewarding. We want to help you along the way with as much help as needed.
Schedule an appointment with one of our peer partners. We can discuss your situation and provide the guidance you need if you are considering parenting.
What Do You Think About Making an Adoption Plan?
Sometimes life’s circumstances make parenting impossible. Either you’re in an unstable relationship, an unsafe housing situation, or you are already raising other children and don’t have the capacity for one more. We understand.
Placing your child for adoption is another option. So much misunderstanding surrounds adoption today. Women are fearful and think they are giving their babies away to strangers, but modern adoption can look very different.
Now, the expectant mother or birth mother chooses the adoptive family. You can even meet them before giving birth to ensure you’ve made the right choice. They will not be strangers.
Working with a reputable, licensed child-placing agency costs you nothing and usually fully covers your medical and legal costs. You may even receive other pregnancy-related expenses based on your needs.
Once you’ve selected the adoptive family, you can also choose how much contact you wish to have with them and your child. Adoption is not an easy decision, and thorough counseling is essential throughout the entire process and beyond. However, it’s crucial to remember that even hard decisions can be rewarding.
We can help get you in contact with a reputable and reliable adoption agency that is going to put you, your heart, and your desires first and foremost.
