Often times when a woman is facing an unplanned pregnancy she may wonder what the best option for her is.

Should she keep the baby or consider adoption? Each pregnancy is different and there is no one answer that will fit every woman’s situation.

Being pro-adoption means that you believe in working toward an accurate concept and portrayal of adoption and how it can be a stabilizing force in our society. When presenting options to birth parents, many people might wonder what to say. For starters, being pro- adoption doesn’t mean that any of the other options are wrong or that you must advocate adoption 100 percent of the time. It also doesn’t mean that you are against single parents or the right to choose parenting in an unplanned pregnancy.

Having a pro-adoption stance does mean that you understand and are comfortable with the benefits of adoption. You are comfortable painting a picture of what a prospective adoptive family might look like, talking about the challenges they have often gone through to choose adoption, and the stepping stones they had to take to prove that they are a suitable family to place a child with.

Adoption creates well-rounded families with a stable home and environment for the child.
