Is Abortion or Adoption Right for Me?

Contact us today for a free options consultation where we walk you through your options in a safe, compassionate setting.
Understanding Abortion
Abortion includes two main methods, and which one is available depends largely on how far along you are in the pregnancy.
A medical abortion is FDA-approved through 10 weeks of gestation. It involves taking mifepristone to block progesterone, followed by misoprostol, which induces uterine cramping.
Cramping and bleeding are part of the process as the pregnancy passes.
Possible risks include heavy bleeding, infection, or an incomplete abortion, all of which may require additional medical care.
A healthcare professional performs a surgical abortion in a clinical setting. The cervix is dilated (opened), and suction is used to remove the pregnancy. Cramping and bleeding will likely happen after the procedure.
Possible risks include infection, uterine injury, or retained tissue requiring additional treatment.
The cost can range anywhere from $500 to several thousand dollars in the US.
Understanding Adoption
Adoption is another option that allows you to make a plan for your child’s future. You can choose the level of involvement you’d like to have throughout the process.
There are different types of adoption, including open adoption, where you may have ongoing contact with your child and the adoptive family, and closed adoption, where identifying information is kept private and you choose not to have any ongoing communication.
Adoption plans are typically arranged through an agency, and many provide financial support for medical care and other pregnancy-related needs.
Next Steps
Before making a decision, it can help to confirm key details about your pregnancy. A limited ultrasound can show how far along you are, the pregnancy’s location, and whether it is still progressing.
We offer no-cost pregnancy services, including testing, ultrasounds, and options consultations where you can explore your options in a confidential, compassionate space.
