Parenting
This option is extremely difficult
to process. It is a life long commitment … yet you feel like 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 choice. 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 not be made quickly or under
pressure. Its your body and the law makes it your choice. Even though
abortion seems like a quick fix there are physical, emotion and spiritual
risks to abortion. So before you make that choice, you must explore all the
facts. Your counselor at CWRC has been trained to answer all your questions
and give you the most accurate information on abortion. It’s your future
that will be affected…get the facts…then choose.
Adoption
This may seem like the hardest of
all the decisions to make. The idea of carrying a child for 9 months and
then placing the baby with another family may seem emotionally impossible.
However, today adoption is very different than it was years ago. While
confidential and semi-open adoption are still available, so is open
adoption. In open adoption children grow up knowing that they are loved by
both their adopted parents and the parents who gave them life.
Maternity Home
Sometimes being pregnant and
unmarried means you do not have a place to live. CWRC is committed to
helping you by arranging for placement in a maternity home. Most maternity
homes are warm places of refuge that provide for the physical, emotional
and spiritual needs of teens and adults facing a crisis pregnancy. Their
goal is to help you regain stability and independence.
Shepherding Homes
An interim care family is usually
a local Christian family who provides a loving, nurturing home for a
newborn infant, allowing birthparents the time they need to be sure that
the decision they make is the right one for the baby and themselves.
