You just found out you're pregnant. Is this the last thing that you need at this time in your life?
However this may have happened, you now have a big decision to make. The thoughts and questions you have can be overwhelming.
Pregnancy brings with it many physical and emotional stresses. And, when you haven’t decided what to do, this pressure can seem overwhelming.
The very best decision you can make is well thought out and planned. So try to make a choice you will be happy with for the rest of your life – not one based on fear, panic or pressure.
The choices presented tend to come down to two: Abortion and adoption. Make a comparison.
Abortion is NOT a magic eraser. Should you decide on abortion, your baby will be brutally killed. You owe it to yourself to understand just what will be done to your baby.
So click to see what happens, EARLY, MIDDLE and LATE.
Adoption is a loving choice. Thinking about what's best for your baby and about the future you want for your child is what adoption is all about
