Sometimes, when a partner doesn’t support a pregnancy, they insist on abortion. Your partner may not want to be responsible or may be concerned about finances, but no one can force you to make one decision over another.
If your partner remains unsupportive, you will need to determine whether you are willing or capable of parenting alone. Will your parents support you financially and emotionally? Do you have the resources you need to be a single parent?
If not, you may want to consider placing your child for adoption. Talk with the team at CFS to help you decide the best path forward.
Isn’t Choosing Adoption Hard?
Placing your child for adoption can be a hard decision. It may feel like you’re “giving up” your child. However, adoption is a loving choice you can make for your child. You still only want what’s best for them by making an alternative parenting plan.
Adoption today is very different from decades ago. Today, you are in charge of the adoption process. The expectant mother chooses the adoptive parents who raise her child. You determine the path you want your child to take. Do you want them to grow up in the city or the country? Is it important that your child has immediate siblings, or do you want them to be the oldest?
You get to choose their future. By selecting the adoptive parents, you can meet them even before your child is born to determine if they are the right ones. Take a look at some of our waiting families today.

What Happens After the Adoption?
Adoption is never a one-time choice. It is a lifetime decision, and as such, you are building a lifelong relationship with your child and their adoptive family. Once your child is born, you can create a communication agreement with the adoptive family.
You determine how much and what type of communication you wish to have. Continuing contact offers benefits for everyone.
