Is Abortion My Only Option if I Don't Want to Be Pregnant?

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, you have other options besides abortion. These options include parenting and adoption.

Below, learn more about each option and how to decide what’s right for you. Or, if you want to talk to someone in person, make an appointment to be connected with one of our caring team members. All appointments and resources are free and confidential.

Is parenting right for me?

Choosing to parent might feel like an impossible option right now. Maybe you think you’re too young, not financially stable enough, or in a difficult relationship without family support. These are understandable and valid concerns, but the good news is that many different resources are available to help you with finances, housing, material items, medical expenses, and more so that you can be empowered to parent successfully.

If you’re considering parenting, The Well Clinic can walk you through what this option might look like in your life, and we can also point you to community referrals.

Is adoption right for me?

Adoption is a pregnancy choice that’s full of options. If you’re considering adoption, it’s essential to speak with an adoption counselor to ensure you know all you can about the process.

With adoption, you can decide if, when, and how often you communicate with the adoptive family and child, or you can choose if you want communication to be mediated by a third party (like the adoption agency).

At The Well Clinic, we can connect you with an adoption agency so that you can explore your options and learn about the financial resources that are available to help with medical bills, housing, etc.

You’re not alone

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone as you consider your options. We’re here to support you with free pregnancy resources, referrals, counseling, and more so you can feel informed and encouraged to make the best decision possible.
