If you are a teen that is currently pregnant, it is not uncommon to feel that you only have two options: abortion or raising your child yourself. However, this post is to let you know that there is another option, adoption. No one else has to live daily with the decision you are about to make, and that is why you yourself must make this tough decision. The best thing you can do for your baby is educate yourself on all your options and then choose the best solution for you and your child with confidence.
So where can you find this help and education you need? LDS Family Services wants you to know that they can help. This organization provides counseling for birth moms and adoptive parents as well as many other types of counseling and resources. It is free, confidential, and available to anyone experiencing an unintended pregnancy. You can watch stories of actual birth moms and adoptive parents as well as email them your questions. For help exploring all your options, check out this website today!
Below is a birth mother’s story and feelings on adoption made by LDS Services.
I also included a slide show an adoptive family made of their positive experience with adoption.
