Unplanned Pregnancy? Adoption in Colorado

Life seems challenging right now. Being pregnant is the last thing you expected in your situation, and you’re at a loss for what to do. Worries plague your mind and emotions overwhelm you. Am I going to survive this? Who do I go to for help? What are my next steps?

You’re not alone! Adoption Choices of Colorado knows that this isn’t what you imagined, what you envisioned for your child. But life doesn’t always go as planned. You’re not the first woman to face an unplanned pregnancy, and you certainly won’t be the last. Let us help you navigate your options!

1. Parenting

You may consider parenting your child. While unexpected motherhood is challenging, it’s not impossible! Nevertheless, ask yourself these questions before making a decision: Can I give my son or daughter the life he or she deserves? Am I willing to work hard to put myself in a better place for my child? If you’re determined to take steps to provide a better situation for your unborn child, start by visiting your healthcare provider. Not only will your doctor make sure that you and your baby are healthy, but he or she can also be a good source for your mental well-being. Raising a child isn’t easy, but there is help that exists. You don’t have to go through this alone.

2. Terminating Your Pregnancy

If you don’t feel ready to become a parent at this point in your life, you have the right to choose termination. Remember that abortion laws vary by state. Colorado is one of the few states where a late termination can be obtained. Outpatient abortion is available up to 26 weeks. There’s also no mandatory waiting period before being able to obtain an abortion, and any woman may terminate their pregnancy without permission and/or knowledge from her spouse. However, law dictates that women under the age of eighteen must first notify at least one parent or legal guardian 48 hours before legally obtaining an abortion. Make sure to contact your local Planned Parenthood for more details!

3. Making an Adoption Plan

Your final unplanned pregnancy option is adoption. If parenting isn’t a viable option for you, adoption allows you the opportunity to give your child a life you wish you were able to provide – one full of safety and security. This option is always available to you, no matter how early or late in your pregnancy you are! However, the earlier you contact an adoption professional, the earlier you can start receiving necessary prenatal care, housing assistance, financial aid for living expenses, and more. Adoption will always be free to you, and appropriate agencies and professionals will make sure you receive the services you need to have a successful adoption journey.

At Adoption Choices of Colorado, we can help provide financial assistance, medical care, housing, transport, and post placement support. More than anything, we want you to feel safe and secure in your living situation. If you express interest in placing your child for adoption, we will respond immediately!
