If you find yourself dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, you may feel overwhelmed by what lies ahead. At Legacy Adoption Services, we will provide counsel and support to help you make the best choice for you and your baby. As you evaluate the options, we want to help you consider the various factors that influence your decision.

Weighing the Choices of Adoption

Whether you decide to parent your child or not, you will want to think about several points, including:

Financial resources

From pregnancy expenses to diapers to school supplies and more, raising a child costs a great deal of money. As you think about keeping your baby versus adoption, you will want to assess the financial ramifications of either choice.

Outside support

Not only will you need money, but as a single mother, you will need people around you to offer help when your baby is colicky, running a fever or going through the terrible twos. Your Legacy counselor can help you evaluate whether or not you have individuals available to offer you this assistance.

Your dreams for the future

Thinking about how an unplanned pregnancy and single motherhood will impact your plans for college, a career and beyond is another important piece of the puzzle.

The best interests of your child

Ultimately, your decision will come down to the best long-term solution. Who can provide a loving, stable environment for your little one?

Though you may have a long road ahead, the team at Legacy Adoptions Services will walk by your side every step of the way. We will offer a helping hand and the resources you need to move forward during this difficult time so that you can feel confident in whatever path you choose.
