If you are facing another unexpected pregnancy and have previously been through an abortion, it’s understandable if you want to explore other options this time. 

You may have decided you don’t want to go through an abortion again, but don’t know what your other options are, or who to go to for support. 

Choices of the Heart is here to support you. We offer confidential appointments where we can discuss your other options: parenting and adoption, and can refer you to resources for extra support. 

Contact us today to schedule a no-cost, confidential appointment.

It’s Okay To Feel Unsure About What To Do Next

Every woman’s situation is unique, and it’s okay to have different feelings surrounding this pregnancy than you did before.

You might feel uncertain or overwhelmed; these are normal feelings, especially if you are carrying guilt or other unresolved feelings from your previous abortion. 

Take time to slow down and learn about your options so you can make an informed choice about what to do next. 

Parenting

Parenting may feel difficult to picture right now, especially if you are worried about finances, stability, or support. However, support is available for women who want to parent but might not be in the right financial place or feel they lack confidence.

At Choice of the Heart, we have no-cost educational programs for women who want to feel more prepared to parent. We offer parenting classes on newborn care and what to expect during pregnancy, as well as life skills classes on budgeting and relationships. Through completed coursework and exercises, participants can earn “baby bucks” to use on diapers, wipes, furniture, and other baby items in our baby boutique.

For financial help, housing, material support, job placements, and more, we can connect you with community referrals who can support you. As long as you have the heart and desire to parent, there are people to support you, no matter your circumstances. 

Adoption

Modern adoption is another option women consider if they don’t want to parent but also don’t want to go through an abortion. Modern adoption plans fall into three categories; 

• Open adoption: Where you can build a relationship with the family and child.
  
• Semi-open adoption: Where all communication is mediated by a third party (like the adoption agency or attorney). This enables you to protect your identifying information.
  
• Closed adoption: With closed adoption, you won’t know anything about the adoptive family and child, and they won’t know anything about you.

It’s normal to have questions about adoption, and we offer confidential appointments to help you discuss which option feels right for you, free of judgment. We can also refer you to reputable adoption agencies in the area at no cost.

Confirm Your Pregnancy

If you think you may be pregnant but haven’t confirmed it yet, a pregnancy test and ultrasound can help determine how far along you are, where the pregnancy is located, and whether the pregnancy appears to be progressing.

We provide no-cost limited ultrasounds at our clinic.
