Pregnancy Options

If you’re considering abortion you may be asking yourself the question, “When does life begin?” It may be confusing when Pro-life and Pro-choice advocates will tell you such different things. With the help of advanced technology, we are learning more about the growth of the baby inside the womb. Consider the following; around the 20th day after conception a baby’s brain, spinal cord, and nervous system are already established. The 21st day the baby’s heart begins to beat. At 35 days five fingers can be distinguished on the baby’s hand. Around 40 days brain waves can be detected. At the 8th week everything is now present that will be found in a fully developed adult. By the 13th week it is apparent that the baby is a boy or a girl. The baby can hear by the 5th month of pregnancy. When you are 7 months pregnant the baby’s fours senses are working; the baby’s vision, hearing, taste, and touch are all intact.

If you’re considering getting an abortion, but want to know more about the baby development first, please contact us. Our caring staff desires to provide you with honest answers about abortion and treat you with respect and the utmost dignity.

Advocates for Ethical Adoption Practice in New Mexico

Dear Advocates for Ethical Adoption Practice in New Mexico

The Restricting Predatory Adoption Practicess bills almost made it to Governor Martinez’s desk for her signature in March. We’re trying now to get it on the Governor’s call list for the special session in September. We cannot tell you how much appreciate the time, energy and thought you have invested in advocating for ethical adoption practice in our state. It takes persistence to get a bill passed!

Please write (best) or call the Governor Martinez (505-476-2200) asking her to put the Restricting Predatory Adoption Practices bill (2011 session HB125 and HB158) on her call for the Special Session. Please include your full contact information.

Governor Susana Martinez
Office of the Governor
490 Old Santa Fe Trail
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501

Please send an email copy to adoptally@gmail.com

This time the bill will start in the Senate with Senator John Ryan as sponsor. Like Representative Al Park in the house, he’s an adoptive dad. This is a completely non-partisan issue.

Your letters in the past spoke passionately and eloquently of your relationship to adoption and the importance for ethical, legal adoption practice in our state. Other points you could include are:

1) The urgency of this matter due to predatory, unlicensed, out of state businesses dominating adoption in New Mexico..

2) These proposed amendments to the Adoption Act would close loop holes that currently allow unlicensed predatory adoption businesses to operate in New Mexico without over-sight, regulation or penalties. 32 other states have had to enact similar legislation.

3) Birth and adoptive families cannot distinguish between a legitimate adoption service provider when they see advertising in the yellow pages, newspapers or by electronic medium and are drawn into extremely expensive, illegal and often perilous adoption processes.

4) In 2011 session we had enormous support throughout the legislative process. This bill should fly through committees. The legislators understood the urgency and importance of this concern.

Unexpected Pregnancy

Whether you have been married for ten years or are only in a relationship for a few months, an unplanned pregnancy can change your whole world. We understand those concerns, and have been working with women who had unexpected pregnancies for over 30 years. Over 3 million of the 6.4 million pregnancies in the US are unplanned. Almost two-thirds, or two million of those are unwanted.

Most of those unplanned pregnancies, over two-thirds, are to teens and girls in their twenties. Many of those young ladies do not seek prenatal care for their pregnancies, and increase the risk of a preterm baby or low birth weight baby. We are here to help you understand what you need to do to care for your unborn baby, and to offer the complete picture of what options you have.

If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and don’t know where to turn, please call us. We have caring staff that are willing to help in any way we can, and provide you with the information to care for your unborn child and yourself. You can call us at 1-800-553-BABY or email us at help@unexpectedpregnancy.net

Considering Adoption

If you are experiencing an unexpected pregnancy and possibly have other children already quiet time to yourself may already be minimal.

Tranquility—a little peace and quiet—I need more of it. Do you? For the average American woman, rest has become an elusive dream. More often than not, we are stressed with the double burden of working a full-time job and taking care of family. For most, it is pretty overwhelming and exhausting. When I finally have the time to relax, am annoyed by the thoughts of what has not yet been done.

If you are weighing your options with your pregnancy we are here to help you.

Learn to release your hands and rely on God to make it through your day. He promises not to give us more than we can handle. Be sure to understand and discern what we may be trying to handle beyond what God asks us to.

As the day progresses, cast your burdens and worries onto Him.  God will still be sovereign even if you do not have time today to finish what can wait for tomorrow. Relax in His perfect peace.

The First Year of Life

"Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red, and yellow, black and white they are precious in his sight- Jesus loves the little children of the world. " As I watch the movie, Babies, I'm reminded how special children of EVERY ethnicity are. It makes the childhood song from church, "Jesus loves the little children of the world" even more special, when you can take a glimpse at the first year of life from babies from Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco to Tokyo.
