Facing an Unplanned Pregnancy
We imagine when you saw a positive pregnancy test, you didn’t believe it at first. So many thoughts fill your mind, like “How can it be?” “I’m not ready to be a mother!” “What am I going to do?”
For some women, an unexpected pregnancy is a joyous experience. For others, becoming pregnant causes anxiety and fear. You may even find yourself in the middle of all these emotions. Let Texas Christian Adoptions help you find answers to your questions.
Although the road ahead may be challenging, we promise to be by your side the entire time. We are dedicated to the emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being of each woman we serve. Our bond goes far beyond the adoption process. We are a support system that will be here for you for years.
The Adoption Option
If you are looking at your options, making an adoption plan is one of them. Choosing to place your child for adoption is a loving decision, but it is hard because of that love. Through our support group meetings and individual counseling, we will discover whether adoption is the best option for you.
Our goal is for you to have confidence that you are making the best choice for your future and that of your child. We will explain how the adoption process works and talk about your options as the expectant mother or birth mother.
The Benefits of Making an Adoption Plan
There are many benefits to adoption. Take a closer look at what is available to you and your child if you make an adoption plan:
- You pay nothing to place your child for adoption.
- You select the adoptive family that is right for you and your child.
- You choose the type of adoption plan depending on how much contact you wish to have with your child and their adoptive family.
- Adoption enables you to provide more for your child, such as a stable, two-parent family.
- After placement, you can pursue your goals and dreams for your life.
- With adoption, you can get regular updates and pictures and share correspondence.
- You have the opportunity to continue a relationship with your child throughout their life.
Is Adoption Right for Me?
We have created an Expectant Mother Questionnaire to help you decide if adoption is the right option. We encourage you to start the process by answering these questions. Your answers will help you discern what you want for yourself and your child as you move forward in your pregnancy.
