Facing a Pregnancy After the Abortion Pill Failed: How Adoption Can Help

If you took the abortion pill and later learned that you are still pregnant, you may feel frightened and unsure of what happens next. 

The abortion pill does not work in every case, and a continuing pregnancy is a possibility. 

After receiving medical follow-up from your provider, you may be wondering what pregnancy option to pursue. If you don’t wish to parent, adoption might be what you’re looking for.

We’re here for you. Schedule your free appointment today to discuss your options and get the support you need. 

When the Abortion Pill Does Not Work

The abortion pill, also called medical abortion, is a two-drug regimen. Mifepristone blocks progesterone and stops the pregnancy from developing, and misoprostol, taken 24 to 48 hours later, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. 

The abortion pill regimen is FDA-approved only through the first ten weeks of pregnancy, and it is important to consider that it doesn’t always work. When this happens, you may be wondering whether adoption is the right choice for you.

Adoption as an Option

At Alpha Pregnancy Care Center, we believe you always have options, and although sometimes we feel backed into a corner, there is always another path we can take. 

Adoption is one of them. Like all of your options, adoption is not an easy choice to make, but sometimes the hardest decisions turn out to be the best ones we have ever made.

Understanding the Types of Adoption

With modern adoption, you  not only get to choose the family, but you decide how much contact you want with your child and the adoptive family:

Open adoption: You have direct contact, such as exchanging phone numbers, full names, addresses, and emails.

Semi-open adoption: You can communicate with your child and the adoptive family, but a third party handles the contact.

Closed adoption: All identifying information about you and the adoptive family remains entirely confidential, and you do not have contact with each other. Some women select this plan if they desire complete privacy. 

There is also no cost for you as the birth mother, as all adoption services are covered. Additionally, your medical expenses may be covered, and you could receive additional support for maternity clothing, counseling, and more.
