This pregnancy wasn’t in my plans.”

Did the pregnancy test surprise you? What does the guy in your life think about being a father?

Many women want to know what their options are when they find their unplanned pregnancy. What opportunities are out there for a woman who is pregnant? You can terminate the pregnancy, you can parent the child or you can place the child for adoption. What does that look like for you?

In Florida , if you choose abortion, you cannot have an abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Most women don’t discover they are pregnant until 4-7 weeks in, on average. This leaves a very narrow window to learn about the pros/cons of abortion. Will it be a mistake? How will it affect you physically or emotionally? You may not have time to really consider how it may affect your life.

However, with an average pregnancy being 40 weeks, you will have 9 months to discover the

resources you have to raise your child.   There are community groups, government programs and benefits to help make it possible to raise your child. You can rally your friends and family who are willing to help you parent, so you have a plan in place before your baby is born.  Many women are single parents who continue their life as it was before the baby, with the help of friends and family. Other women co-parent their child with assistance from the father of the baby. As with any parenting, sure, there are difficult times! With a support system like friends and family, it can work.

What other opportunity does a woman with an unplanned pregnancy have? Adoption.

Since an average pregnancy is 40 weeks, you can spend time learning how adoption may be an opportunity for you and your child. There are semi-open and open adoptions now. Adoptive families understand that knowing the birth family is better for the child.

You can find an adoption agency who will answer your questions and listen to your concerns. As an adoption agency in Florida, Caseworkers of CFS prefer to spend time with women long before the baby is born. We prefer to understand what you are looking for in  an adoptive family.

In Florida, a woman can work with one agency when she creates an adoption plan for her baby. However, nothing is legal or binding until signing consent paperwork. You cannot sign adoption consent paperwork until at least 2 days after your baby is born. You have plenty of time to make an adoption plan, consider if adoption is right for you and your baby, or your other options.

We understand that each woman and her circumstances are different, but we hope this information gives you opportunities for you and your baby!

UNDERSTANDING POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE: Blog posts of CFS are written using words people search for if they are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. To reach women and provide options to them, we use language our SEO agency suggests, not the positive adoption language we prefer to use! We consider women making an adoption plan as wanting to place her child with an adoptive family, but many times she first uses words like “give my baby up” for adoption.
