Worried About the Risks of Abortion?
There are serious physical risks to abortion that you may be weighing out already. Both types of abortion procedures can come with risks to your health, such as:
- Incomplete abortion (which requires another abortion procedure)
- Heavy and prolonged bleeding
- Digestive system discomfort
- Infection
- Fever
Be sure you understand all the risks and side effects of abortion before making up your mind. You deserve the facts. Though it seems like a quick and easy fix to you right now, there are risks that could affect you later down the road.
What is the Adoption Process Like?
Many women have perceived ideas of what adoption is like based on movies, TV, or an experience with a friend or family member. It’s important to learn about your adoption options and each adoption process so you can understand it firsthand.
Types of Adoption Plans
There are multiple adoption options to choose from based on the type of relationship you desire to have with your child and the adoptive family. These options include:
- Open or semi-open adoption: If you would like to have ongoing contact with the adoptive family and your child, you would make an open or semi-open adoption plan.
- Both of these include exchanging personal information like full names, addresses, emails, or even phone numbers with the adoptive family you choose. With open adoption, you would have direct contact with the adoptive family. With semi-open adoption, you would have contact through a third party, like an adoption agency.
- Closed adoption: If you desire to remain anonymous, a closed adoption plan is for you. An adoption specialist will choose the adoptive family based on your requests and take care of the details. Some women want to stay anonymous because it helps them feel like they can somewhat move on.
