Help for Unplanned Pregnancy or Teen Pregnancy in Arizona

Finding out that you are pregnant when you have no plans to raise a child can be one of the most stressful times in your life. You are immediately faced with a situation that can change your entire life - and the decisions you must now face are not easy or taken lightly. As a teen, an unplanned pregnancy can be even more devastating. But you are not alone. There are women just like you out there, and there are loving, caring people who are ready to help you in your time of need.

You Are Not Alone

Hundreds of thousands of women in America experience an unplanned pregnancy every year. These women face the same decisions as you. If you're pregnant and thinking about putting your baby up for adoption, you need help. You need someone you can talk to and someone who can help you navigate the complicated adoption process. Stumbling around blindly isn't helpful to either yourself or your child, but finding help is easier today than ever before. There are plenty of supportive, caring people ready to help you including adoption councilors, adoption agencies and adoption attorneys like Kerry B. Moore.

It Is Your Decision to Make

First of all, dealing with an unplanned pregnancy by putting the child up for adoption is a decision that belongs to the child's parents. No one else can or should make this decision for you. Primarily, the decision rests in the hands of the birthmother. If the father is not know or does not file a paternity action in a timely manner, he relinquishes his right to decide what is best for the child. Should the father decide to be involved in the decision, he will be given adoption consents to sign as well.

Free Services Are Available to You

As a birth mother planning a future for her child through adoption, you have a wealth of free services available to you. These services include:

•Prenatal Medical Care
•Hospital Care for Birthmother and Baby
•Counseling
•Living Expenses
•Transportation
•Legal Representation

These services are covered by the adoptive parents who will eventually be taking care of your child. In Arizona, it's believed that adoption starts with healthy babies and birthmothers. It's difficult to take care of yourself if you're worrying about medical and living expenses.

It Is Important You Have Time to Weigh Your Decision

After the baby is born, you have three days to make your final decision. Once the adoption papers are signed, the decision is irrevocable. This is why it is of extreme importance to be certain of your decision. It is an amazingly selfless and courageous act to put your baby's welfare above your own, but not everyone feels that way. Birthmothers teeter between the decision to place their baby up for adoption or to keep it, never knowing all the facts, never speaking with counselors or realizing that their medical and living expenses can be covered. The adoption process exists to make sure you have the opportunity to weigh your decision and decide on what is best for your baby, so that when you sign the adoption papers, you know that you've made the right choice, and that your baby will be in good hands.
