Facing an unplanned pregnancy brings a lot of questions—and the biggest one might be, “What do I do now?”
You may feel pressure to decide quickly, but the truth is: that you have time, and you have options. No one else gets to choose for you.
Here’s a look at your three primary choices:
- Parenting
Choosing to parent doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. There are community resources, parenting classes, support groups, and practical help—especially from pregnancy centers like Hope Rising. You’ll need time to plan and prepare, but it is possible. - Adoption
Some women know they’re not in a position to parent but still want to give their baby life and a loving family. Adoption allows you to choose the family and level of contact you’d like—open, semi-open, or closed. It’s a brave, loving choice, and you’re in control. - Abortion
If you’re considering abortion, it’s important to be fully informed about the procedures, risks, and emotional effects. Many women say they wish they had known more before making a decision. You deserve complete information before taking your next step.
At Hope Rising, you can explore your options in a confidential, judgment-free space. We don’t profit from your decision—we’re just here to support you.
Whatever you choose, it should be your decision—not one made in fear, panic, or pressure. You deserve to know all your options. We’re here to walk that journey with you.
