Parenting
Continuing the pregnancy and raising the child yourself, with or without a partner. Many parents in Massachusetts qualify for prenatal care coverage, WIC, and other support programs that reduce the cost of pregnancy and early parenting.
Your options Three options. Equal information. Your decision.
When you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, you have three medical options: parenting, adoption, and abortion. Below is a plain summary of each. The decision is yours.
Adoption
Continuing the pregnancy and placing the child with another family through a licensed agency or independent placement. Massachusetts adoption can be open, semi-open, or closed depending on what you want, and birth parents typically pay nothing.
Abortion
Ending the pregnancy through medication or an in-clinic procedure. Methods, timing, and medical considerations vary. Read the dedicated page for factual information about how each method works.
