An unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, especially without support. If you’re feeling isolated and unsure of where to turn, you’re not alone—help is available.
Find Pregnancy Care Centers and Maternity Homes
Pregnancy care centers and maternity homes offer practical and emotional support for expectant mothers. Visit OptionLine.org or text “Helpline” to 313131 to locate one near you. Organizations like CareNet, one of the largest networks of pregnancy centers, provide free pregnancy tests, material resources, and helpful information. Many centers also offer STI testing and ultrasounds for pregnancy confirmation.
Learn About Adoption
If you’re not ready to raise your baby, adoption is a loving option. Many couples are eager to adopt, with prospective adoptive families outnumbering infants available for adoption. Websites like Adoption.com allow you to explore profiles of pre-approved adoptive families by location, religion, age, and other factors. For guidance on creating an adoption plan, visit AdoptHelp.com.
Support Beyond Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood provides limited resources for prenatal care, adoption assistance, or ultrasounds (except for abortion purposes). This has been confirmed through their own admissions in recorded calls. For more comprehensive care and support, pro-life organizations offer a range of services tailored to new moms.
Access Affordable Medical Care
If you lack insurance, GetYourCare.org can help you find nearby federally qualified health centers. Pro-life organizations like Tennessee’s Morning Center and Colorado’s Bella Natural Women’s Care also provide medical care for mothers and babies.
Abortion Pill Reversal
If you’ve started a chemical abortion but changed your mind after taking the first pill (mifepristone), it may not be too late. Abortion pill reversal is a process designed to halt the effects of the abortion pill. For assistance, call (877) 558-0333 to speak with a nurse 24/7 or visit AbortionPillReversal.com to find a doctor near you.
Seek Legal Support
If you’re being coerced or pressured into an abortion, help is available. The Justice Foundation’s Center Against Forced Abortions (CAFA) provides legal resources and letters explaining the legal consequences of forced abortions. To contact CAFA, call 210-614-7157 or email info@txjf.org. Additional organizations offering legal aid include:
- Alliance Defending Freedom
- Thomas More Law Center
- ACLJ
- Liberty Counsel
- American Freedom Law Center
- Life Legal Defense Foundation
- Foundation for Moral Law
For Friends and Family
If someone you know is pregnant or has fathered a child, this information can help you support them. New babies bring a mix of emotions, and feeling alone shouldn’t be one of them. Together, we can ensure no one feels unsupported during this life-changing journey.
