Finding out you’re pregnant can stir up a whirlwind of feelings, shock, worry, or even confusion. If it wasn’t planned, your mind might jump straight to abortion as the only fix. But there’s more to consider, like adoption and parenting.
Each comes with its own ups and downs, and neither is without effort. Still, both can open doors to something real and rewarding. At Compass Women’s Clinic of Athens, we’re here to help you sift through it all and find what fits your life.
Am I Ready to Parent?
Parenting can seem impossible, especially if you’re unsure about stepping into it. Doubts are normal. No one has it all figured out from day one. It’s a journey of stretching yourself and learning as you go. Think about your emotional stamina: can you roll with the challenges and stay committed?
Check your support from friends, family, or local help that can lift you up. Money’s a factor, too; kids cost, but even if you’re stretched thin, programs can pitch in. Compass Women’s Clinic of Athens can help you understand more about parenting and get you ready if you choose this path.
Is Adoption Right for Me?
Not feeling up for parenting? Adoption is another possibility for you. You get to make the big decisions. You can pick the family, meet them if you want, and decide how much contact you’d like after. You might stay in touch or keep it private; it’s flexible.
Plus, you may be able to get practical help, like financial or material support, while pregnant. Adoption is not an easy choice, even though you are putting your child first and giving a family a chance to grow. It’s tough but can leave you with a lasting sense of purpose.
