From “Thinking about parenting,” 2012. Planned Parenthood. Thinking About Parenting Millions of women face unplanned pregnancies every year. If you are deciding what to do about an unplanned pregnancy, you have a lot to think about. You have three options — abortion, adoption, and parenting. Whether you're thinking about parenting, you're helping a woman decide if parenting is right for her, or you're just curious about parenting, you may have many questions. Here are some of the most common questions we hear women ask when considering becoming a parent. We hope you find the answers helpful. How Can I Know If Parenting Is the Right Option for Me? We all have many important decisions to make in life. What to do about an unplanned pregnancy is an important and common decision faced by women. In fact, about half of all women in the U.S. have an unplanned pregnancy at some point in their lives. About 6 out of 10 women with unplanned pregnancies decide to continue their pregnancies. Every woman's situation is different, and only you can decide what is best in your case. If you're trying to decide if parenting is the right option for you, you may find it helpful to list the advantages and disadvantages of having a child. Think about what advantages or disadvantages are most important to you. Consider your feelings and values about raising a child, and what you want for your life and for your family or future family. Some Things to Ask Yourself If You Are Thinking About Raising a Child Am I ready to help a child feel wanted and loved? Am I ready to cope with a tighter budget, less time for myself, and more stress? Do I have the support of family and friends? Am I ready to accept responsibility for all my child's needs? Would I prefer to have a child at another time? Is anyone pressuring me to continue or end the pregnancy? How do I feel about other women who have children from unplanned pregnancies? Can I afford to have a child? What would it mean for my future and my family's future if I had a child now? How important is it to me what other people will think about my decision? Can I handle the experience of pregnancy and raising a child? If you are already a parent, ask yourself how bringing another child into your family will affect your other children. Think about what your answers mean to you. You may want to discuss your answers with your partner, someone in your family, a friend, a trusted religious adviser, or a counselor. Thinking About Parenting What Are Some of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Parenting? Though parenting is hard work, it brings many rewards. Being a parent can be exciting and deeply rewarding. It can help you grow, understand yourself better, and enhance your life. Parents can feel delight at their child's accomplishments and the love and bond they share. Many people say that parenting brings great happiness and a deeper understanding of themselves. But parents often give up a lot for their children. Meeting a child's needs can be very challenging. Parents deal with less sleep and less time to do the things they need and want to do. Having a baby is expensive, and many people find it hard to support their children. Having children can also put a parent's school plans or career on hold. Many people find that having a child can test even the strongest relationship. And if you are single parenting, you may find it more difficult to find and keep a relationship. If you already have children, you know firsthand both the joys and challenges parenting can bring. A child will change your life, whether it is your first child or not. If you don't have any children, talking with other parents about their daily lives with their children may help give you an idea about what you could expect. Who Can Help Me Decide? Most women look to their husbands, partners, families, health care providers, clergy, or someone else they trust for support as they make their decision about an unplanned pregnancy. Even though the decision about what to do about your pregnancy is up to you, most women find they'd also like to talk with trusted people in their lives to help them make up their minds. If you need help deciding, specially trained educators at women's health clinics — like your Planned Parenthood health center — can talk it through with you. They can talk with you in private or you may bring someone with you if you wish. When looking for someone to talk with about your options, beware of so-called "crisis pregnancy centers." They are run by people who are against abortion, and who will not give you information about all of your options. How Soon Do I Have to Decide? Whether you choose adoption or to become a parent, if there is a chance that you will continue the pregnancy, you should begin prenatal care as soon as possible. You should have a medical exam early in your pregnancy — and regularly throughout your pregnancy — to make sure that you are healthy and the pregnancy is normal. Even though most women have safe and healthy pregnancies, there are certain risks of pregnancy for a woman. They range from discomforts, such as nausea, fatigue, and aches and pains, to more serious risks, such as blood clots, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In extremely rare cases, complications can be fatal. That's why early and regular prenatal care is very important. It may be important to take your time and think carefully about your decision. But you may not want to wait too long. If you are considering abortion, you should know that abortion is very safe, but the risks increase the longer a pregnancy goes on. Thinking About Parenting Can I Meet a Child's Needs? Children have many needs. Your child will depend on you — for food, shelter, safety, affection, and guidance. Parenting requires lots of love, energy, and patience. It is often complicated and frustrating. Your child's needs will constantly change and so will your ability to meet those needs. There will be times when you may feel that you are not doing a good job at parenting. To feel good about being a parent, it must be what you want to do — for a long time. If you are thinking about becoming a parent, you may wonder if you are prepared. Do you have what you might need to take care of a child? Time — children can put your school plans or career on hold. Energy and care — children need parents who are loving, patient, and flexible. Planning — having children takes daily planning, as well as long-term planning for the next stages of the child's life. Material things and money — children need clothes, diapers, food, and health care, and they often need day care. What Support Will I Need If I Have a Child? Parenting is hard work — whether you are single and parenting or parenting with a partner, and whether it is your first child or another child in the family. A child requires nonstop care, and having a partner or other family member to share the work of parenting can make the job much easier. New parents, whether they are single or in a couple, need support from lots of places. Worries about money and time are common for parents, and every family needs support now and then. Sometimes that might be grocery shopping, hand-me-down clothes, babysitting time, or just someone to talk with. Single Parenting Many people find themselves single parenting, or choose to become single parents. Single parenting can be very challenging, but it's certainly not impossible. If you're thinking of single parenting, talk with family and friends about the help you will need. Find out how much time, energy, and money the people in your life are willing to give to you and your baby. If you will need money, be realistic about how much your friends and family can give. Some people will be able to help a lot, while others will be only able to help a little. If you need government support, keep in mind that it will only cover part of what you will need. But being a single parent has its advantages, too. Because you will not have to make compromises with a partner, you can raise the child as you wish — with your values, principles, and beliefs. Parenting With a Partner A partnership can provide parents with much-needed support. Many couples find great satisfaction in sharing the responsibility of raising a child. They find their love and commitment to each other is made deeper by their shared love for their child. However, parenting can also put stress on relationships. Parents may disagree about what is best for a child. If you have a baby, your relationship with your partner will change. Joint parenting takes good communication and a solid commitment in hard times. When Extra Support Is Needed Women often have a wide range of emotions after giving birth. The joy of a new baby can be mixed with feelings of sadness and anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Childbirth causes sudden shifts in hormones that can cause these feelings. You may need some extra support if you suffer from the "baby blues" during your baby's first few days or weeks. Long-term depression is more common if a woman has a history of emotional problems or if she does not have supportive people in her life. Women should seek help from a health care provider or counselor if depression lasts more than two weeks or keeps them from doing what they need to do each day. Overall, having lots of support from other people will be a big help to you if you decide to become a parent. Thinking about how much support you can expect from other people can be very important as you decide what to do about an unplanned pregnancy.

Thinking About Adoption Millions of women face unplanned pregnancies every year. If you are deciding what to do about an unplanned pregnancy, you have a lot to think about. You have three options — abortion, adoption, and parenting. Whether you're thinking about placing a child for adoption, you're helping a woman decide if adoption is right for her, or you're just curious about adoption, you may have many questions. Here are some of the most common questions we hear women ask when considering adoption. We hope you find the answers helpful. How Can I Know If Adoption Is the Right Option for Me? We all have many important decisions to make in life. What to do about an unplanned pregnancy is an important and common decision faced by women. In fact, about half of all women in the U.S. have an unplanned pregnancy at some point in their lives. If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, and you do not want to have an abortion or be a parent, you can give birth and let someone else raise your child. This is adoption. It is a permanent, legal agreement in which you agree to place your child in the care of another person or family. Women choose adoption because they care about themselves and their families or their future families. The most common reasons a woman chooses adoption are She is not ready to be a parent. She cannot afford to raise a baby. She feels that raising a baby now would make it too difficult to work or go to school. She doesn't want to be a single parent. She feels too young or too immature to raise a child. She believes adoption is the best chance for her child to be well-cared for financially and emotionally. Every woman's situation is different, and only you can decide what is best in your case. If you're trying to decide if adoption is the right option for you, you may find it helpful to list the advantages and disadvantages. Think about what advantages or disadvantages are most important to you. Consider how you feel and what you think about adoption, what you want for your life and for your family or future family. Thinking About Adoption Some Things to Ask Yourself If You Are Thinking About Adoption Am I ready to be a parent? Can I afford to be a parent now? What would it mean for my future if I had a child now? Can I accept not being my child's primary parent? Does adoption feel like what I should do, not what I want to do? Would I consider abortion? Is someone pressuring me to choose adoption? Am I prepared to go through pregnancy and childbirth? Will I be able to cope with the feeling of loss that I may have? Do I have people in my life who will help me through the pregnancy and adoption process? How do I feel about other women who choose to place their children for adoption? How important is it to me what other people will think about my decision? Think about what your answers mean to you. You may want to discuss your answers with your partner, someone in your family, a friend, a trusted religious adviser, or a counselor. Are There Different Kinds of Adoption? Yes, there are different kinds of adoption and different ways to arrange for your child to be adopted. There are two types of adoption — "open" and "closed." Open adoptions happen when the birth parent and adopting family have some contact. The birth mother selects the adopting family. She can find out about their values, lifestyle, and religion. Their ideas about discipline and the educational opportunities they can offer may also be important to her. She and the adoptive parents may choose to form a relationship. It may include ongoing visits with the child, phone calls, pictures, or visits. Women may choose open adoption in order to be reassured by meeting the child's adoptive family or by getting updates as the child grows. Closed adoptions, or confidential adoptions, happen when the birth mother and adopting family do not have any information about one another. Closed adoptions are becoming less common. Women may choose a closed adoption in order to have more privacy. Thinking About Adoption Finding Adopted Children or Birth Parents After a Closed Adoption Sometimes adopted children or birth parents will want to find each other later in life after a closed adoption. Adoption registries may be able to help you connect with your child. Some adoption agencies will help birth parents and children find each other. But this does not always happen, so if you think you will want to have some contact with your child, consider planning an open adoption. There are different ways to arrange for an adoption: Agency adoptions happen with the help of a state-licensed agency that connects the birth parent with the adopting family. The agency can help arrange for pre- and post-adoption counseling and hospital arrangements for the birth, and can provide help with legal matters. Agency adoptions can be open or closed adoptions, but they are most often open. The agency can help you select the adoptive parents and help you set up plans for future contact with the adoptive family. Independent adoptions are handled through a lawyer. These lawyers are sometimes called "adoption attorneys." It is a good idea to have your own lawyer to represent your best interests. In an independent adoption, you can still receive counseling and guidance through a local adoption agency, if you choose. Adoption by a relative happens when someone in the birth parent's family adopts the child. This is also called "kinship adoption." You and your relative can work with an adoption agency, lawyer, or your state department of human services to arrange the adoption. Family members must meet all the same legal requirements as any other adoptions. Even if your child is placed with a family member, you will have no more parental rights than if you had placed your child with strangers. Adoption is legal and binding whether it is open or closed, and no matter how it is arranged. All adoptions must be approved by a judge in a family or surrogate court. Adoption laws are different in every state. An adoption counselor or lawyer can tell you about the laws in your state. In most states, minors do not need a parent's consent to choose to place a child for adoption. You can also find out if there are laws in your state that allow contracts between birth and adoptive parents for ongoing visits. Be sure to read everything very carefully and talk with your lawyer before you sign any papers. During your pregnancy, you have the right to decide on adoption and change your mind later. If you choose adoption, you will have to sign official "relinquishment papers" after your baby is born. No adoption is final until after the baby is born and you have signed the papers agreeing to the adoption. After signing these papers, you may be given a limited period of time during which you may change your mind. After that, few adoptions are reversed by the courts. Thinking About Adoption What About the Baby's Birth Father? The laws about birth fathers are different from state to state, so talk with an adoption counselor or lawyer about what rights a birth father has in your state. You may need his consent in order to plan an adoption. Who Can Help Me with Adoption? An adoption agency can help you answer any questions you might have. When you look for an adoption agency, ask questions to make sure they are a good fit for you. You might want to ask: Will using your services cost me anything? Do you offer counseling or support groups for birth mothers and birth fathers? How do you screen the adoptive families you work with? Will I be able to meet with adoptive families? If I choose an open adoption, will you help me stay in touch with the adoptive family? Can your agency help with prenatal care or delivery costs? Do you work with families looking for babies of different races and ethnicities? Are there families interested in adopting babies with special medical needs? What are the birth father's rights in my state? If I choose adoption, when is my decision final? If you are interested in an independent or family adoption, you can contact your state, county, or local department of family or child services, or your local Planned Parenthood health center for resources. They may be able to help you locate a social worker or other adoption counselor who can guide you through the adoption process. How Soon Do I Have to Decide? Some women start planning their child's adoption early in their pregnancy. Others begin it later in pregnancy. Some even begin the adoption process at the hospital after the baby is born. Thinking About Adoption Prenatal Care Whether you decide to parent or place the baby for adoption, it's very important to get prenatal care early in the pregnancy to make sure you have a healthy pregnancy. Foster Care In some cities, temporary foster care may be available for the children of women who need more time to decide between adoption and parenting. Laws about foster care vary from state to state. To find out more about foster care, talk to someone at your state, county, or local department of family or child services, or at your local Planned Parenthood health center. How Will I Feel After the Adoption? Many women who make this choice are happy knowing that their children are loved and living in good homes. And they feel empowered in their role as birth mother. But some women find that the sense of loss is deeper than they expected. You may feel some grief after the adoption is complete. Or you may be reassured by knowing that your child is in good hands. A range of emotions is normal. And your feelings may be complicated for a while. It's a good idea to find counseling to help you work through your feelings. This can be important during the adoption process as well as afterward. If you work with an adoption agency, they can often provide counseling for you. If you have an independent adoption, you can still receive counseling and guidance through a local adoption agency. No matter which type of adoption you pursue, it's important to find people who will support you during and after your pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood. Thinking About Abortion Millions of women face unplanned pregnancies every year. If you are deciding what to do about an unplanned pregnancy, you have a lot to think about. You have three options — abortion, adoption, and parenting. Whether you're thinking about having an abortion, you're helping a woman decide if abortion is right for her, or you're just curious about abortion, you may have many questions. Here are some of the most common questions we hear women ask when considering abortion. We hope you find the answers helpful. How Can I Know If Abortion Is the Right Option for Me? We all have many important decisions to make in life. What to do about an unplanned pregnancy is an important and common decision faced by women. In fact, about half of all women in the U.S. have an unplanned pregnancy at some point in their lives. About 4 out of 10 women with unplanned pregnancies decide to have abortions. Overall, more than 1 out of 3 of all U.S. women will have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old. Women have abortions because they care about themselves and their families or their future families. The most common reasons a woman decides to have an abortion are: She is not ready to become a parent. She cannot afford a baby. She feels that having a baby now would make it too difficult to work, go to school, or care for her children. She doesn't want to be a single parent. She doesn't want anyone to know she has had sex or is pregnant. She feels too young or too immature to have a child. She has all the children she wants. She or the fetus has a health problem. She is a survivor of rape or incest. Every woman's situation is different, and only you can decide what is best in your case. If you're trying to decide if abortion is the right option for you, you may find it helpful to list the advantages and disadvantages of having an abortion. Think about what advantages or disadvantages are most important to you. Consider how you feel and what you think about abortion, what you want for your life and for your family or future family. Thinking About Abortion Some Things to Ask Yourself If You Are Thinking About Abortion Am I ready to become a parent? Can I afford to have a child? Can I afford to have an abortion? Would I prefer to have a child at another time? What would it mean for my future and my family's future if I had a child now? Would I consider putting the child up for adoption? Do I have strong religious beliefs about abortion? How do I feel about other women who have abortions? How important is it to me what other people will think about my decision? Can I handle the experience of having an abortion? Is anyone pressuring me to have an abortion? Am I being pressured not to have an abortion? Would I be willing to tell a parent or go before a judge if my state requires it? Think about what your answers mean to you. You may want to discuss your answers with your partner, someone in your family, a friend, a trusted religious adviser, or a counselor. Who Can Help Me Decide? Women can feel alone or isolated when they are considering abortion. You may feel that it's hard to talk to the people you normally reach out to for support. Some people can be very judgmental. When you're around judgmental people, you may feel bad about yourself or your decisions. Seek out people you know will support you and who will understand that you're trying to do what's best for yourself and your family or future family. Most women look to their husbands, partners, families, health care providers, clergy, or someone else they trust for support as they make their decision about an unplanned pregnancy. And many women go to the clinic with their partners. But you don't have to tell anybody. If you're 18 or older, it is entirely up to you who you tell. If You Are a Teen … Teens are encouraged to involve parents in their decision to have an abortion, and most do have a parent involved. But telling a parent is only required in states with mandatory parental involvement laws. Such laws force a woman under 18 to tell a parent or get parental permission before having an abortion. In most of these states, if she can't talk with her parents — or doesn't want to — she can appear before a judge. The judge will consider whether she's mature enough to decide on her own. If not, the judge will decide whether an abortion is in her best interests. In any case, if there are complications during the abortion, parents of a minor may be notified. Specially trained educators at women's health clinics — like your Planned Parenthood health center — can talk with you in private. Or you may bring someone with you if you wish. When choosing a clinic, beware of so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that are run by people who are against abortion. Thinking About Abortion How Soon Do I Have to Decide? Abortion is safe, and serious complications are rare — but the risk to your health increases the longer a pregnancy continues. Abortions performed later in pregnancy may be more complicated but are still safer than labor and childbirth. So, even though it's important to take the time you need to make the decision that's best for you, it is important that you understand there may be greater health risks later in pregnancy. So, you may not want to wait too long. How Is Abortion Done? If you decide to end a pregnancy, your health care provider may talk with you about different abortion methods. You may be offered the option to have an in-clinic abortion, or you may be offered the abortion pill. Are There Any Long-Term Risks of Abortion? There are many myths about the risks of abortion. Here are the facts. Abortion does not cause breast cancer. Safe, uncomplicated abortion does not cause problems for future pregnancies such as birth defects, premature birth or low birth weight babies, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or infant death. If I Have an Abortion, How Will I Feel Afterward? A range of emotions is normal after an abortion. There is not one "correct" way to feel. Some women feel anger, regret, guilt, or sadness for a little while. For some women, these feelings may be quite strong. For some women, having an abortion can be a significant life event, like ending a relationship, starting or losing a job, or becoming a parent. It can be very stressful and difficult. Other women have an easier time after abortion. Serious, long-term emotional problems after abortion are about as uncommon as they are after giving birth. They are more likely to happen for certain reasons — for instance, if a woman has a history of emotional problems before the abortion, if she doesn't have supportive people in her life, or if she has to terminate a wanted pregnancy because her health or the health of her fetus is in danger. Ultimately, most women feel relief after an abortion. Women tend to feel better after abortion if they can talk with supportive people in their lives. Post-abortion counseling services are available. Contact Exhale, a free, after-abortion talkline, that provides confidential and nonjudgmental emotional support, information, and resources for women who have had abortions.
