Parenting, Adoption and
Abortion
|
Parenting
Should you decide to keep your baby, there are
resources available to help you. It's important to
seek assistance at private and public agencies to
see what is available to you. You may qualify for
medical benefits, including assistance with prenatal
care, childbirth, and neonatal care. You can also
find professional parenting resources and
counseling.
Additionally, the father of your child is required
by law to help with financial support if you decided
to keep the baby. |

The Texas Office of the Attorney General
can assist you in collecting child support.
To contact them, call 1-800-252-8014. |

Adoption
If you find parenthood too overwhelming, there are other
options available. Many women facing a crisis pregnancy find
adoption the best option for them. Resources are available
to help you place your child in a loving home. In some
cases, expectant mothers are able to play a role in choosing
the family that will adopt their child. Depending on your
preference, the adoption can be closed or open. In an open
adoption, you retain some forms of contact with your child
after they are born. This might include pictures on their
birthday or letters, etc. To get a fuller understanding of
the adoption process, you can speak with a counselor at the
White Rose Women’s Center.

Abortion
Pregnancies are terminated in one of two ways, either
medically or surgically, depending on how close the unborn
baby is to being full-term. Both methods have serious side
effects and risks associated with them. Only a doctor can
perform an abortion. Before you decide to have an abortion,
you will be asked about your medical history, undergo a
physical and lab tests, and in some cases, an ultrasound. To
make a truly informed decision, seeking professional
pre-abortion counseling is an important part of the process.
