Pregnancy Alternatives: There are many options that one can take when pregnancy has been determined. These options include: keeping the baby, putting the baby up for adoption or abortion. Regardless of the option, the decision needs to be made fairly early in pregnancy to ensure optimal health for all. Some facilities offer services for more than one of the above mentioned options. The following is a listing of services available by geographic region. This list does not endorse any of these agencies, but simply serves as a resource.
