Is Adoption Best For You?

There are a lot of things to think about when considering adoption. Do you have the time or financial resources to care for a child? Will raising a child prevent you from accomplishing your personal goals? 

If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, and are not sure what to do, you're not alone. A St. Mary’s counselor will meet with you and help you determine what is best for you and your baby.

Here are some common thoughts and opinions women have when considering adoption:

• “I want my baby, but fear I will not be able to take care of it.”
  
  
• “I can't decide if I want to raise a baby now or make an adoption plan.”
  
  
• “I don't think I'm ready to be a parent and don't know what to do.”
  
  
• “I don't know if I can afford to have a baby.”
  
  
• “I don't want to raise my baby alone.”
