If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy and know abortion isn’t the path you want to take, it’s normal to feel both relieved and unsure about what comes next. Maybe you’ve experienced abortion before and want a different choice this time, or perhaps you simply know you’re ready to explore another option.
At Bella, our caring client advocates help you explore every possibility in a confidential environment. You do not have to navigate this decision alone. Schedule a no-cost appointment today to meet with us and begin discovering the resources and support available to you.
Considering Parenting
Parenting can feel like a big step, especially when your pregnancy was not planned. You might be wondering:
- How will I support a baby emotionally and financially?
- What if I’m in school or working full-time?
- Can I still reach my personal and career goals?
- Will my baby’s father or my family support me?
At Bella, we believe parenting is possible when you have the right support around you. That’s why our team offers the Earn While You Learn program—to help you grow in confidence while learning practical skills. Along the way, you can also earn essentials like diapers, baby clothes, and even a car seat to help care for your little one.
We’ll also connect you with community resources for housing, childcare, and healthcare, so you can feel prepared and empowered to raise your child.
Exploring Adoption
If you decide that parenting is not the best fit for your circumstances, adoption could be a loving and thoughtful choice. Adoption allows you to create a plan that reflects your wishes for your child’s future. You remain in control by choosing the adoptive family and deciding the level of contact you’d like.
There are several plans available for adoption, each providing different levels of communication and privacy. You may choose from the following:
- Open Adoption: Maintain an ongoing relationship with your child and the adoptive family through visits, letters, or calls.
- Semi-Open Adoption: Communicate through a third party with limited personal details shared.
- Closed Adoption: All identifying information is kept private, and there is no direct contact between birth parents and the child after placement.
Adoption services are provided at no cost to you, and the adoptive family typically covers pregnancy-related medical expenses. Our advocates will support you throughout the process, offering both emotional guidance and practical assistance. We can also connect you with trusted adoption agencies and provide guidance as you explore your options.
