Adoption?

Adoption is sometimes dismissed as an option but it can be the best choice for both you and your baby. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of abortion and your circumstances make parenting very difficult at this time, adoption can be a very positive option. It's a sacrifice you make for your baby, but one from which you benefit too.

Adoption means that you make a plan with an adoption agency to place your baby with a loving family. This enables you to give your child the kind of life you would want to give him or her if your circumstances were different.

What's good about adoption?

· Studies show that most adoptions work out happily.
 
· Your child could have a 'life book' that tells him or her what you would like them to know about you and the baby's father.

· Through adoption, you can provide your child with both a father and a mother.

· You can say what sort of people you would like to have as parents for your child.

· Adoption means you care about your child. You are giving him or her the opportunity to have what you are unable to provide right now.

Our counsellors can help you as you consider all your options.
