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.

Adoption allows you to carry your pregnancy and place your child with a carefully chosen family. At TLC, we offer:
- Information on open, semi-open, and closed adoptions

This option gives you the opportunity to plan your baby’s future while still being part of their story—if you choose.
