Your Options

You just found out you are pregnant. How do you feel? Was this something you planned and hoped for? Was this the last thing in the world you wanted at this time in your life? You now have a big decision to make.

Adoption with Gladney gives you control and choices. Get the answers to your questions about adoption; hear from birth mothers who've made a placement plan for their child, and read about how Gladney will be here for you now and in the future.

Pregnancy brings with it many physical and emotional changes and when you are not sure of your decision, these changes can be even more overwhelming. The good news is, you don’t have to make this decision alone. WE ARE HERE TO HELP. We want to give you the tools, the knowledge and the HOPE to make the best decision for you and your baby.

Are you familiar with all of your options? In case you are not, here are your primary pregnancy options:

• Marriage
• Abortion
• Single Parenting
• Adoption (open adoption or closed adoption)

The very best decision you can make is one that has been well thought out and planned. Making a choice you will be happy with for the rest of your life takes time. Please try not to make an impulsive decision based on fear, panic or pressure. Carefully weigh the pro’s and con’s of each of your options, and then take the road that is best for you. Deciding what to do about your pregnancy is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make.

There is no simple way to deal with this situation. The more care and effort you put into making an INFORMED CHOICE, the more at peace you will be with your decision. If you find that you would like to talk to someone about your options, we are here to support you. We are here to answer your questions, provide further resources, and to listen to your concerns - just call 1-800-GLADNEY (800.452.3639).
