I am Pregnant with an Unplanned Baby. What are My Options as a Birth Mother if I Don’t Want to Raise the Baby?
We understand here at Adoption Choices of Arizona that an unplanned pregnancy is not what you thought you would be going through. Facing a mass amount of circumstances in your life might not make you ready to be a mother. With or without the birth father, help won’t make such circumstances better, which we completely understand.
You are not forced or judged here if you know you cannot raise the unborn child you are pregnant with. Unplanned pregnancies are frequent across the United States. It causes many birth mothers to have to make the tough decision of what to do when coming to the realization that it is not possible to raise the child on their own. Then like yourself, they have to weigh the different options that they have besides not raising their child.
The first option you have if you cannot raise your baby is abortion. It is the process of terminating your baby while still in the womb instead of carrying the child for nine months. However, we are a non-profit that advocates for adoption. We support and are strictly against judgment for birth mothers taking such actions. We wholeheartedly understand and wish the mother to be safe during such a procedure. In this option, it is common for birth mothers to have developmental struggles due to the negative thoughts about abortion itself. But, we believe in not judging women for such.
Another option to choose from is adoption which we would aid you during the adoption process in Arizona. Adoption is a process when a child is legally taken in by individuals and shall be raised as their own. In some cases, the child in some scenarios has no biological relation and will consider the people raising them as their “mother” and “father.” Like the termination of a pregnancy, this process can mentally take a toll on you though for different reasons. If such happens, we can provide professional counseling.
