Adoption


If you’re unmarried, a positive pregnancy test may well be some of the worst news you’ve ever received.

You may be feeling shock, fear, dismay, guilt or embarrassment. You probably feel alone, scared and overwhelmed about the decisions you need to make.

In particular, at some point in the next few months, you will be deciding who will raise this precious new life. Will you release your baby to a loving adoptive family? Or will you raise him or her as a single mother?
