If you’re struggling financially, you may feel like abortion is your best option. 

Maybe you don’t think you can cover the medical expenses of a pregnancy, let alone have the financial resources required to raise a child. 

Before choosing to have an abortion, you should know that there are options to ease the financial responsibility.

Whether you’re considering parenting or placing your child for adoption, continue reading to learn more about your options and the financial assistance available.

Parenting

If you long to raise your child but fear the financial responsibility of parenting, don’t give up hope. 

A variety of resources exist to support you financially throughout your pregnancy and parenthood, including:  

  • Childcare assistance during work or school 
  • Free formula and diapers
  • Nutritional assistance 
  • Rent assistance
  • Medical care assistance

Not only is it critical to have your and your child’s basic needs met, but it is also vital to find a community to support you during this journey. 

If you’re facing this pregnancy without the support of your family or a partner, we’re here to support you. We offer free parenting education and resources at the Care Center. Plus, you can earn baby items such as diapers, wipes, clothes, etc., just for taking a class.

We can also connect you with community resources for financial and medical assistance.

Adoption

If you’re considering placing your child for adoption, do not let the fear of pregnancy-related medical expenses impact your decision. Making an adoption plan for your child costs you nothing.

Not only are the birth mother’s medical expenses often covered in full by the adoption agency or adoptive family, but the birth mother may also qualify for additional assistance for basic living expenses like rent and groceries. 

Along with the financial benefits of adoption, the birth mother has the right to play a vital role in the adoption process. Modern-day adoption allows the birth mother to select the adoptive family and decide how involved she would like to be in her child’s future. 

Listed below are the three common types of adoptions to choose from: 

  • Open adoption: You can pick the family you want to adopt your baby and decide how involved you want to be in your child’s life. 
  • Semi-open adoption: You can contact the adoptive family and your baby through a professional adoption agency while keeping your personal information confidential. 
  • Closed adoption: You have no contact with your baby or the adoptive family, and the adoptive family has no contact with you. The court seals all adoptive information.

Although we cannot place your child for adoption, we can provide adoption counseling and agency referrals.
