Is adoption right for you?
This is a question that only you can answer for yourself. It is a highly personal decision. It is one that should not be taken lightly. Expectant parents should feel free to talk with professionals, gather information and take their time in making a decision. Talking to an adoption professional and seeking unplanned pregnancy help does not mean that you are going to pursue an adoption plan. If, in talking to an adoption professional, you feel that you are being pressured or given a guilt trip about adoption, please consider talking to another professional. Adoption is a highly personal decision that will affect you, your child and possibly your extended family, so it is important that it is a well-thought-out process.
