Options Counseling
Trying to make a pregnancy decision? Or maybe you’ve already decided how you plan to respond to this pregnancy, but don’t know how to begin putting that plan into action? If you're facing an unplanned pregnancy, you have three options: parenting, adoption, or abortion. As your health & safety are our priority, we do not perform or refer for abortions. However, we understand your right to choose and in no way profit from your choice; therefore, we believe it is your right to receive comprehensive information regarding abortion processes before making a decision.
There’s no reason to navigate this pregnancy alone. Get the support and information you need!
