Abortion

If after counselling you decide on abortion then there is less likelihood of being depressed or suffering with a condition known as Post Abortion Trauma as you have taken time to mentally adjust to the sudden hormonal and physical changes involved in terminating the pregnancy.

Adoption

If you feel unable to care for your baby then adoption means you can arrange for them to be cared for by a loving family. It means you can give your child the kind of life you would want to give them, but you feel you cannot give them yourself at this time. Many people have negative images about the adoption process - often from films or books which do not give a true picture of what it is like in Britain today. Some things you may not know are:
Studies show that most adoptions work out happily
Your child can have a life book that tells them what you would like them to know about you (and their father)
You can say what sort of people you would like as parents for your child
Deciding now to place your baby for adoption does not mean you cannot change your mind after the baby is
born. You can change your mind any time up until legal documents are signed after the birth.
