Unplanned pregnancy? Find out if adoption may be a good option for you.
If you find yourself with an unplanned pregnancy, you may be wondering how to choose what's best for
your baby and for yourself.
Carefully considering all your options is a responsible thing to do. If you decide that you are not
able to give your baby the life you want for him/her, adoption may be right for you.
Reasons why people choose adoption
Want two parents for a child
Want a family that's ready to have a child — financially and emotionally
In order to complete their education or other life goals
Not able financially to parent and financial assistance isn't enough
Feel they need to be more mature, "grow up" before having children
Don't have a relationship with the father of the baby, and not enough support from family/friends to parent on their own
To prevent what they feel would be poor parenting by their partner
Many birthparents choose to place their baby for adoption after carefully considering the best interests of that child. They decide that through adoption they will best be able to meet those interests.
