I’m pregnant, what are my options?

There are several options a mother has with her pregnancy.

• Parenting- keeping the child and raising it yourself
• Adoption- placing the child into an appropriately studied adoptive family
• Kinship adoption- having a family member adopt your child
• Temporary custody- placing the child with a friend or family member temporarily until you are able to care for the child again.
• Voluntary residential care- there are children's homes, boys & girls ranches, etc. that take voluntary family placements of children from families, and they raise them until the family is able to care for the children again.
• State aid- if choosing to parent you may qualify for state aid; i.e. food stamps, Medicaid, hud housing, etc.

If you would like to learn more about any of these options I would be happy to share information about them with you. Call any time!
