Before making any decision about your pregnancy, consider the following questions designed to help you sort through your thoughts and feelings. There are also some prompts to help you consider how each decision may affect you now and in the future.

  • How do I feel right now?

  • What do I see as the main problem?

  • What are my thoughts?

With each choice you identify (continue with the pregnancy and parent; continue and adopt; end the pregnancy), go through each of the following questions:

  • What support is available to me in my community?

  • What support is available to me financially?
