Understanding the Options
One of the services that are offered free of charge at Hope Center is informing the client about her options when she has a positive pregnancy test. At Hope Center, we have trained peer advisors who help the women and the man they are speaking with understand that the child within her is a miracle. The advisors recognize that each woman faces a very serious and difficult decision that will permanently affect her as the mother, the child and her family. In the safety of the advising session a women is able to share her fears, her uncertainties and her hopes regarding her pregnancy. The advisor has the opportunity to listen, understand and give her information about all of her options.
When a woman is faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she has three options: to parent the child, to choose adoption or to have an abortion. The final decision is ultimately hers and she may have many people who could be influencing her decision during this difficult time in her life. At Hope Center, we don’t want her to feel pressure, but hope and a new perspective, one that she may not have considered until she came through our door. Our mission at Hope is to offer each and every women accurate information about the joys and struggles of parenting, the way the adoption process works and the realities and risks involved with abortion including the physical and emotional risks. Generally women who are seeking information on abortion are doing so because of feelings of fear and doubt about themselves and their own situation. The advisor is able to encourage the women to think realistically about her situation while offering empathy and support. No matter what the woman chooses, we support her decision through love and compassion.
