What are all your options when you find yourself in a crisis pregnancy?
SINGLE PARENTING:
Parenting can be a very positive option for women. Those women who chose to go this route will find Abigail Pregnancy Services supportive and willing to help furnish diapers, clothing, formula, baby furniture, parenting classes, and more to make this a good choice for both mother and child. To make sure you and your child have the very best care available we provide referrals for prenatal care, maternity housing for teenage girls, shelters for abused women, etc. It takes a lot of sacrifice on the mother's part. This choice requires making a good plan and a lifetime of commitment but it can be done. >Go to FAQ's
MARRYING THE BABY'S FATHER:
If were already planning on getting married and are in a healthy relationship, this may be a good choice for you. However, it is not always a good idea to get married just because you are pregnant. This choice has the same requirements as single-parenting but with a commitment to a marriage relationship as well. >Go to FAQ's
ADOPTION:
Parenting is an option for many woman but not for all. Many young women are not prepared financially or emotionally to become a mother at this time in her life. We can help refer you to a licensed adoption agency that can help you take control of your situation and assist you in making an adoption plan for you and your child. There are many options available to chose from. You can chose from open adoption planning, that allows ongoing visits with your child, or you can chose a less open adoption that keeps you informed about your child's progress through letters and pictures. You can also chose to not have any on-going contact with your child and the adoptive family, through a confidential adoption plan. This plan allows you the satisfaction of giving life to your child without the responsiblity of parenting. >Go to FAQ's
ABORTION:
Contrary to what some people will tell you, abortion is not the only choice for a woman found in a crisis pregnancy. And even though we at Abigail Pregnancy Services firmly believe that abortion is certainly not in the best interest of the mother or the baby we will provide you with caring, honest and accurate information concerning the types of abortions performed, the way the procedures are done and what the possible physical and emotional side effects may be. We want to arm you with all the information we can so that when you make your choice, it is an informed one, well thought-out and not a quick decision based on emotions alone. >Go to FAQ's
ABSTINENCE:
Sex outside of marriage has many problems, including unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Some diseases will not kill you (such as syphilis, herpes and gonorrhea) but they can cause pain and discomfort and perhaps even leave you unable to have children. Some STDs like HIV/AIDS are incurable and can kill you. HPV can cause cancer. Remaining a virgin until marriage to an uninfected partner is much better and is the only sure way to keep from getting a sexually transmitted disease. If you have already fooled around with intercourse or oral sex, get checked for STDs and tell your friends about the risks. Then make a pledge to stay healthy until you find your faithful lifetime partner in a marriage relationship. You are worth waiting for! Make a commitment today for second virginity - a commitment to not have sex again until your wedding night and then stand by that commitment without compromise. >Go to FAQ's
