Does this sound like you?
There are many reasons why women may be distraught or upset about an unplanned pregnancy. Some may feel they are too young for motherhood, or may not be in a stable relationship. For some, pregnancy comes as a badly timed shock - she may be studying, have just begun a new job, or wish to travel before settling down. Still others may be concerned about the financial implications of having another child, or might've thought they'd already completed their family.
We can help.
Pregnancy Counselling Services can help you to understand the adoption process in New Zealand, and make a decision that you feel is best for you and your baby.
Adoption is not what it was fifty years ago, when mothers gave up their children and didn't see them again for at least 20 years.
Today, you can play a part in choosing the adoptive family, meet the couple, decide how much or how little on-going contact you want and keep in touch with your child and his/her new family.
To help you make this huge decision, you can talk with one of our counsellors, meet other birth parents who have adopted out a child, read some recommended books and have the emotional support of your counsellor even after the baby is placed in an adoptive family.
Call Pregnancy Counselling Services, any time of the day or night, to talk to someone about your situation, thoughts and feelings at this time.
