Fear, confusion, desperation, shock… these are just some of the emotions a woman in an unplanned pregnancy may have. Because these feelings are so uncomfortable, it is natural to want to get rid of them, get past them, or deal and forget about them. We understand this. In any other time in life where stress runs high and emotions are ruling our thoughts, it is important to pause and breathe and take some time to look at all of the options.
Too often, when we rush into making a hasty decision that is fear based, we end up regretting that decision.
When ever we have a big decision to make, it seems as if everybody around us has their own idea and opinion. Sometimes it is difficult to hear our own thoughts because everybody else’ thoughts are running through our mind. It is hard to give thought to how a rushed decision will affect us in our future because we are so caught up in how we are feeling today. I want to encourage you to view this as if you are at a yellow signal light… slow down and stop if you need to, take in everything around you and only proceed when you know that you and your passengers can do so safely. You are in the driver’s seat. Wherever your desired destination in life may be, how you decide to handle today’s part of the journey will help determine whether you get there peacefully and safely.
Your situation is scary. In this moment, you may feel as if your life is ruined. I know – because I have been there. You WILL get through this and you do not have to do this alone.
If you, or someone you know, is in an unplanned pregnancy pregnancy, you have the right to take the time and look at all of the options. Taking the time to know all of your options, gives you the freedom and power to make the best decision for you and your baby. Adoption may not be the answer for you, but it just might be once you learn more about what an amazing decision is has been for others.
