Abortion is not your only pregnancy option. If you feel pressure about abortion and have your doubts and concerns, consider exploring your other two pregnancy options: adoption and parenting.
At Echoz, we provide a safe place for you to receive free and confidential pregnancy services and education about all your pregnancy options. Our team will listen to your concerns and serve you compassionately.
What Could Adoption Look Like?
Adoption has greatly improved over the years, and now birth mothers have much more of a say in the process. There are multiple adoption plans to choose from based on the type of relationship you desire to have with your child and the adoptive family. They include:
- Open Adoption: This adoption includes the most communication between the birth parents and the adoptive family. It may involve in-person visits, phone calls, or regular updates through letters and photos. If you desire a long-term relationship with your child and adoptive family, this is a great option for you.
- Closed Adoption: This adoption involves no contact between the birth parents and the adoptive family once the adoption is completed. All identifying information is confidential, and the records are sealed. If you seek privacy, this option may be a good fit for you.
- Semi-Open Adoption: This adoption type is a mix of open and closed adoption. It allows some communication to be done through an adoption agency or a third party. Birth parents and adoptive families may exchange letters or photos without sharing personal details or direct contact.
You don’t have to do adoption alone, especially as you face an unexpected pregnancy. To learn more about this adoption option, talk to us for support and education.
What Does Parenting Really Take?
Parenting seems intimidating, especially if an unexpected pregnancy caught you off guard already. Maybe you have so many questions like:
- Who will support me and my child financially?
- What about college/school? Can I still go to school?
- What will my partner/family/friends think of me?
- How do I raise a child on my own?
These are all great questions to navigate and consider with someone who is supportive and understands parenting. Our team can help you better understand parenting today and offer free and confidential parenting resources if you need them.
