Facing financial stress during pregnancy can make it feel like your options are even more limited than they are. The truth is, you have more choices than you may realize. Parenting and adoption are still possible.
Pregnancy Options Center of Warren County is here to walk alongside you with free, confidential counseling, accurate information, and compassionate support so you can make the decision that is right for you.
Before making any decision, it’s important to get an ultrasound. An ultrasound confirms how far along the pregnancy is, whether your pregnancy is viable, and whether your pregnancy is located inside the uterus. Some pregnancies occur outside the uterus, which is a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention and changes the options available to you.
Pregnancy Options Center of Warren County provides limited ultrasounds to help you get the information you need to make the best decision. Contact us today to schedule a discussion and review your options.
Parenting
Parenting may feel impossible when money is tight, but with support, it may be more achievable than you think.
Many women in difficult financial situations successfully raise children with the help of family, friends, and community resources. Programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), WIC, Medicaid, local food banks, and housing assistance programs exist specifically to help parents in need.
If you have people in your life who can offer emotional and practical support, and you are willing to explore the resources available to you, parenting your baby may be a very real and fulfilling option.
Adoption
Adoption is a choice that allows your child to be raised by a family who is ready and eager to parent. Many adoptive families also cover pregnancy-related expenses.
Adoption can be open, semi-open, or closed, depending on what you and the adoptive family agree to. Here’s a look at the three types of adoption plans:
- An open adoption allows for ongoing contact and updates.
- A semi-open arrangement may involve communication through an agency.
- A closed adoption means no identifying information is shared.
No matter which adoption type you choose, you can find peace knowing your child is going to a well-screened and loving home.
Additionally, adoption is the most affordable option, as the adoptive parents will pay for any medical bills not covered by insurance, legal fees, and sometimes other necessities.
