There are many reasons you could be considering parenting or adoption for your unplanned pregnancy. Life often throws us curveballs, but it’s what we do with them that writes our story.
We know it’s not an easy choice as you navigate some of the big questions that come with this life-altering decision. You are not alone.
Am I Ready to Parent?
It’s normal to have doubts about your ability to parent when faced with an unexpected pregnancy. That’s normal for anyone. Here are some questions to consider navigating right now as you decide on a pregnancy option:
- Can I financially support my child?
- What will my partner do? Will he want to support me and our child?
- Can I continue my schooling?
- Is there parenting support available to me?
Do your best to consider these big questions and work through them with support around you. Talk safely and confidentially at Sumter Pregnancy Center today and address your questions and concerns.

What Does Adoption Look Like?
Adoption is a permanent legal agreement that transfers parental rights from the birth parents to the adoptive parents. Adoption has dramatically improved over the years, and you can choose an adoption plan based on what type of relationship you want with your child.
Some women choose adoption to give their children a better future. It may be the right choice for you if:
- You are a student or want to focus on your career
- You may not be financially stable
- You are not in a safe or stable situation to raise a child
- You do not have a support system in your community to help you
- Parenting is not the right choice for you
