Pregnancy Options

If you are pregnant, you have options.  The decision is YOURS.  You should carefully consider all of the following choices:

• Abortion
• Closed Adoption (where the adoptive parents do not know who you are and you do not know who they are)
• Open Adoption (where you help choose the adoptive parents and stay in some kind of contact with them)
• Parenting

If you are sexually active but do not want to become pregnant, you need to use contraception every time you have sex.  There are many different kinds of contraception.  See Prevention for information on where to get contraception and to figure out which method is right for you.
