Your Pregnancy Alternatives:

Did you know that fewer than half of the 6.2 million women who became pregnant in 2002 had planned the pregnancy? This means that you are far from being alone in your situation. More than 3 million women annually share your fear and your confusion (Options Magazine, 2003).   Like yourself, these women need help understanding their options available to them and making a plan for their future. When making the decision, it is important to consider the following: your future, and your baby's future. Adoption Network of Colorado is here to help you explore your options and to decide what will be best both you and your baby. We are here to help you through the process, not to pressure you into a decision. You can contact us for free counseling to help you through this process.

 Your Future: Your decision between adoption, abortion, and parenting can affect your future in severely different ways.

• Adoption gives you the freedom to pursue your earlier dreams, and to be young and independent. You can feel good that you have welcomed a life and brought joy to a loving adoptive family. This choice will also offer you an opportunity to maintain contact with your baby and watch him/her grow. There is no cost to you if you choose adoption. It can be a very hard decision to make, and we are here to help you through it. 
• Abortion is a medical procedure that terminates a pregnancy. There are different procedures available. These fees vary greatly. Please contact you local doctor or Planned Parenthood for more information.
• Parenting comes with significant obligations and responsibilities. Like adoption, you will get the chance to give life and to watch him/her grow. The financial obligation that comes with parenting is a significant, long-term commitment
