Adoption Vs Abortion Vs Parenting

Getting pregnant at an unplanned time can be very difficult and scary, and deciding what to do could be much harder. The most important thing to remember is that you have a choice. Every woman does! There are three main options: parenting, abortion or adoption. There are no similarities between parenting and abortion. One important similarity between adoption and parenting is that you can give life to your child and watch your child grow up. If a woman chose to adopt her baby, she may feel guilt and shame about her choice. She will miss the opportunity to see her child growing up. Abortion is final! She can’t go back on her decision. There is no cost to you if you choose adoption. In fact, pregnancy-related expenses are paid for by the adoptive family, which often include medical care and living expenses. You will be able to speak with your adoption specialist about your specific needs. If you chose to abort, depending on how far along you are in the pregnancy, the cost will range from $500-$2,000 for an abortion. There may also be additional charges for ultrasound, the "morning-after" pill, birth control and further medical treatment. Parenting is the most expensive option. Total cost to parent a child ranges from $500-$2,000 monthly. A parent must also budget for shelter, food, transportation, and utilities to raise their child. It’s all about your choice, your life, your baby and your future.
