When faced with an unintended or unexpected pregnancy, it’s easy to feel pressured into making quick decisions. But it’s important to have all the information you need to make an informed choice. We understand that deciding about pregnancy can be overwhelming. We are here to help– we don’t rush through appointments, we encourage women to take time to consider all options regarding a pregnancy: parenting, placing for adoption, and abortion.
Carrying to Term & Parenting:
Facing an unplanned pregnancy, can be intimidating. Many women feel unprepared for the challenges of parenthood or may worry about how their family and friends will react. Even for women who are already parents, the thought of adding another child when resources are already stretched thin can feel overwhelming.
At Parkridge, we help you navigate these feelings and explore the support available to you. You're not alone in this journey. From personal encouragement to community resources, we offer a wide range of assistance. For first-time moms, we provide a class to help prepare for motherhood, and we offer free counseling services to support you before, during, and after your pregnancy.
Adoption:
The idea of placing a child for adoption can seem daunting, and many women have misconceptions about the process. Adoption can be an empowering option that allows a woman to make a choice that she feels is best for both her and her child.
Whether you choose an open adoption—where you and the adoptive family stay in contact—or a closed adoption where you prefer privacy, we’re here to help you understand your choices. Many women who choose adoption are already parents and have firsthand knowledge of what parenting requires. Planning for adoption can offer a sense of control in a situation where it might seem like there are limited options. We’re here to walk alongside you and provide the support you need in making this decision.
Abortion:
Choosing an abortion is a deeply personal decision. At Parkridge, we believe it’s important for you to have accurate, medically relevant information about the different types of abortion procedures and the current Texas laws surrounding them.
We offer a confidential, safe, and nonjudgmental space to process your questions and concerns. Our professional staff will ensure you have the education and resources you need to make an informed decision. With options such as counseling and ultrasound, you’ll have the opportunity to fully consider all possibilities before moving forward.
