What Can I Do if My Parents Want Me To Get an Abortion That I Don’t Want?

While you may care about your parent’s input about your unexpected pregnancy, the final pregnancy decision is yours to make. No one, including your parents, should force you into an abortion decision. It’s not okay.

Take a step back from your parents if you feel forced into any pregnancy decision that you don’t want to make. At First Care, we are a safe place for you to talk about all your pregnancy options and receive free and confidential support.

Know It’s Ultimately Up to You

You may already feel overwhelmed by your pregnancy options, and it doesn’t help to get pressure from those you love most during this time. Know that the final decision is yours to make, as it will directly impact your future.

It’s important that you make your pregnancy decision outside of family or peer pressure. Give yourself time to decide what’s best for you.

Learn About All Your Options

You have more than one pregnancy option available to you. If abortion is something you don’t want right now, explore your other two options: adoption and parenting.

Adoption

Adoption is the legal transfer of the birth parent’s rights to the adoptive parents. The process of adoption has greatly improved, allowing birth mothers to select an adoption plan that works best for them. There are three types of adoption plans to choose from: open, closed, and semi-open adoption.

At First Care, we provide fully licensed adoption services through our in-house agency, New Life Adoptions. The adoption process starts by meeting with one of our Expectant Parent Social Workers so we can learn more about your unique situation. This initial meeting is also a time for you to get your questions answered about adoption.

Parenting

If you decide to pursue the parenting option, First Care can walk you through the parenting journey. Often, women’s fears about being parents revolve around the need for additional support and resources. We can help.

Our professional staff helps parents provide the resources and support needed to create a successful parenting plan.
