Parenting
Being a parent is a challenging and rewarding experience. The thought of being a parent can be overwhelming at anytime, and especially if the news of your pregnancy is unexpected, and parenting may not be the best choice for you now... but it is worth exploring this option in a pressure free environment before making your choice. Parenting is a big responsibility, and it is not your only option... you may be in a situation where parenting is not the best choice but many of the obstacles to parenting are temporary and can be overcome with the right support. Even if you have decided to parent and are happy with this option, there will be lots to prepare for, physically and emotionally; we can connect you with the resources you need.
Abortion
Depending on your circumstances and support network, abortion can seem like the best, easiest or only solution. When considering abortion it is important that you weigh the pros and cons, and make sure that you are not making the decision because of external pressures. We can give you information on the various methods and procedures and help you sort through the mixed emotions, before or after an abortion. If you decide to terminate your pregnancy, we will refer you to your doctor or a trusted medical clinic for the procedure, but you will always be welcome at the center if you need to talk about your experience.
Adoption
Choosing adoption is a difficult decision, it involves very real physical and emotional challenges, and because adoption is rare in Quebec, you might not have seriously considered it, but it can be a rewarding option for you. Many wonderful adoptive parents are eagerly waiting for a baby. We are here to help you determine if adoption is the right choice for you and support you through the process.
Post Abortion
Many women feel relief and return to their normal life after and abortion, while other women find it a painful and difficult experience to move past. Women come to Options hoping to resolve feelings of regret, anxiety, sadness or guilt. If you have any negative feelings concerning a past abortion that are preventing you from fully appreciating life, we want to help you find peace and restoration. If you or someone you know may be experiencing post abortion grief, please contact us.
We provide accurate information on all options; we are not a medical clinic, a laboratory, or an adoption agency therefore we do not provide or directly assist in arranging abortions.
