Understanding Your Pregnancy Options: Parenting, Adoption, and Abortion

If you suspect you might be pregnant, recognizing the early symptoms can help you determine your next steps. While a missed period is the most well-known sign, there are many pregnancy symptoms that can appear before your period is due.


Summary

Facing an unplanned pregnancy? You have options. TLC of Hastings provides free, confidential support to help you explore your choices—whether you’re considering parenting, adoption, or abortion. Our goal is to help you make an informed, empowered decision in a safe, compassionate space.

Your Pregnancy Options Explained

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. At TLC of Hastings, we help you explore all your options:

  • Parenting: Continuing your pregnancy and raising your child with support
  • Adoption: Making a plan for another family to raise your child
  • Abortion: A medical procedure to end the pregnancy

Each choice comes with its own emotional, physical, and practical considerations. That’s why it’s important to have accurate information and non-judgmental support.

Parenting: Raising Your Child With Support

Choosing to parent doesn’t mean doing it alone. TLC of Hastings offers:

  • Free parenting classes and mentoring
  • Material support through our Baby Boutique
  • Fatherhood programs and life coaching

Parenting is a big decision, but with the right resources and support network, it can be one of the most rewarding.
