Below are listed  brief discussions on each of your choices.  We have included these brief discussions to help you think through your options while you plan your visit to ChoiceOne.  We hope you find them helpful.

Remember all of your choices will have consequences, good and bad.  The key is to make an informed decision that you can live with...A decision that you know to be right...

Parenting:  This option is extremely difficult to process.  It is a life long commitment and yet you feel  your life is over.  When you feel like your "career", "education", "financial stability" and/or "relationship" is in jeopardy by this pregnancy, it is even harder to view parenting as a positive alternative.  But your life isn't over.  Our counselors will help you break down all your concerns and help you see the benefits and the realistic challenges to choosing parenting.

Abortion:  This would never happen to you. You can't believe you are now faced with choosing abortion.  This is critical...the decision to abort should never be made quickly or under pressure.  It is your body and the law makes it your choice.  Even though abortion seems like a quick answer there are physical, emotional and spiritual risks to abortion, and before you make that choice, you must explore all the facts.  Your counselor at ChoiceOne is trained to answer all your questions and give you the most accurate and up-to-date information on abortion.  It is your future that will be affected...you need to know...

Adoption: This may seem like the hardest decision to make.  The idea of carrying a child for nine months only to then give him/her to another family may seem emotionally impossible.  However, if parenting and abortion are choices that seem too overwhelming, adoption may be the answer.  There are many types of adoption plans available, your counselor can explain your adoption options.
