If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy in Nevada and do not feel you are ready to parent, you may wish to consider placing your baby for adoption. Adoption is one of the choices a woman can make when she is pregnant and does not want to keep her baby. Versus parenting or terminating the pregnancy, adoption provides an opportunity for the child to be raised by another person or couple, who become the child’s legal parents.

Unwanted Pregnancy Options

You have three options in Nevada when facing an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.

1 – You can decide to carry on with the pregnancy and parent your child.

2 – If you aren’t prepared to parent, you can terminate the pregnancy.

3 – Or you can continue the pregnancy and create an adoption plan. An adoption plan will allow you even more options as outlined below. Adoption agencies can help you plan the adoption and walk through the adoption process with you.

It is important to talk to people you trust and get accurate information. You should think about your goals, religious and cultural concerns, finances, and support from family and friends when making your decision. You should never be pressured or coerced to make a decision.

Your adoption plan will include details like:

• Deciding on the best family for your baby. If you wish, we will provide you with comprehensive information and photo albums of our prospective families who are ready to adopt. You can choose the family that you think is the best match for your baby. Each of our families has been very carefully screened by us with background checks and we have been to each of their homes. We can also arrange an in-person meeting or a call with a specific family at your convenience.
• Choosing between an open or closed adoption plan. You design the type of adoption you want: open adoption, semi-open adoption, or closed adoption. The right plan is the plan with which you feel most comfortable. If you choose to have a closed adoption, you can open it at a later date. Our flexible options give expectant birth mothers a sense of security that is especially welcome during this difficult time.
• Medical Care. If you do not have medical care, we will help you find a reputable and caring doctor. You and your baby are important to us and we can help you find the care you both deserve through your pregnancy and birth.
• Creating a lifelong connection with our agency and/or your adoptive family, if you choose.

There might be lots of reasons why a woman chooses to place her child for adoption in Nevada. Some women might not have supportive families or a significant other to help out with childcare, and she knows she can’t raise a child by herself. Some women might choose adoption because they are against abortion, but do not wish to become a parent.

Some women find the decision to place a child for adoption a simple one that is quick to make. Other women find it more difficult, and may wonder if she is doing the right thing.

There is no shame in deciding to place your child for adoption. It has to be your decision – but if you know it’s the right one for you, then that is what matters! You should never feel pressured or forced to choose adoption.
