Abortion Alternatives

There are abortion alternatives for an unplanned pregnancy, which presents a woman with challenges she never expected. Knowing what to do is never easy. Many immediately think about abortion.

At our adoption agency, Family Resource Center, we have worked with many women facing this decision and understand their feelings, worries, and questions. One of our birth parent counselors is always accessible, 24 hours a day, every day. Women facing unplanned pregnancies can call 1 (800) 676-2229 and find someone who can help them explore abortion alternatives and consider all the options, including adoption or deciding to parent their child. We care about birth parents and their babies!

A practical abortion alternative is adoption. If a pregnant woman chooses not to have an abortion and is interested in considering adoption as an abortion alternative we can help. Our adoption counselors can help with practical support like obtaining medical care, coming up with ideas for meeting living expenses, and temporary housing for those who have nowhere to stay. Our caring, experienced birthparent counselors can help women locate the resources they need and find ways of discussing their unplanned pregnancy with family and friends.

Family Resource Center is a small adoption agency that provides personal service to birth mothers, adoptive parents and children placed for adoption. We treat everyone with respect and dignity. We have created a Birthparent Bill of Rights that helps women considering adoption understand their rights. When women consider various alternatives for abortion our adoption agency is there to help.

• Women who decide to place their child for adoption can choose the adoptive family for their child.
• Birth parents considering adoption can decide for themselves what kind of adoption they want ranging from completely open adoption (where you meet and know the adoptive family), to closed adoption (where all identifying information is kept confidential), or anything in between.
• Birth parents, in cooperation with the adoptive parents they choose, decide how much or how little contact (in person, by phone, by photos) they want to have with each other before, during and after the birth of the child

At our adoption agency, birth mothers and birth fathers are welcome to actively participate in the adoption process. They control their lives, and choose the future they want for their baby.

The first step in considering alternative for abortion is to speak with a birth parent counselor. She will be able to answer your questions , and provide information about alternatives for abortion. If you like, our adoption counselor will meet with you face-to-face. Each counselor has the training and experience to help women facing unplanned pregnancies consider abortion alternatives. Please call today to speak with one of our counselors - she can help you explore ALL your options.

No matter what decision birth parents make about adoption, our adoption agency will respect and support them in every practical way. We're here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions, help with urgent situations, or just provide a shoulder to cry on.
