What Can I Do If My Partner Doesn’t Support My Pregnancy?

An unexpected pregnancy is hard enough. To find out your partner doesn’t support you makes it even harder. The good news is you, and only you, have the right to decide what to do about it. No one can legally force you to make one choice over another.

If your partner is unsupportive, you need to determine if you’re capable of parenting on your own or if you should take a closer look at making an adoption plan. The caseworkers at A Gift of Hope Adoptions can help you.

How Do I Know If I Can Parent?

Parenting your child, especially alone, is challenging. There are many factors you need to consider. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • If my partner doesn’t support me, will my parents?
  • Can I finish school or continue my career?
  • Where will we live? Is it safe for a child?
  • Can I financially support a child on my own?
  • Do I have the resources I need to parent?
  • Who will help me physically and emotionally?
  • Do I have the desire to parent?

Knowing the answers to these questions can give you a starting place to understand if parenting is the right choice for you.

Should I Place My Child For Adoption?

Choosing to make an adoption plan is also challenging, but if you are not capable of raising your child on your own, adoption is a wonderful, loving choice. Even though your partner doesn’t support your pregnancy, you can move forward with an adoption plan.

Expectant father’s rights vary from state to state. Working with a reputable, licensed adoption agency helps you understand the law. The agency can assess your situation and determine how to proceed.

Like parenting, there are many factors you need to consider to determine if placing your child for adoption is best. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do I want my child to be raised in a two-parent home?
  • Can I give my child the opportunities I want them to have?
  • Will others love my child as much as I do?
  • Can I provide a safe, secure home for my child?
  • Without the support of others, am I willing to provide for my child through adoption?

These questions can give you a starting place to determine if adoption is right for you and your child.

What Can A Gift of Hope Offer Me?

It is illegal to pay a woman to place her child for adoption. But it costs you nothing when you move forward with an adoption plan. We will help you find resources to pay for your prenatal care, hospital stay, and legal expenses. Sometimes, you can also receive other pregnancy-related services, such as rent, food, maternity clothes, transportation, etc.

Elizabeth and A Gift of Hope have been a touchstone during our adoption process. Having had issues with a previous agency – Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air! Reassuring, supportive and empathetic. We are so in love with our daughter and thank A Gift of Hope everyday for her!

AGOHA is a great agency that has provided amazing support and guidance though the adoption process. Would highly recommend AGOHA!

Our family has used their services for adoption. It’s wonderful dealing with someone who is looking out for the whole child, not just placing kids.

A Gift of Hope Adoptions is a Godsend for so many expectant young mothers. I completely recommend this organization for anyone interested in providing a wonderful life for their soon-to-be baby. This organization is also a Godsend for those of us who cannot have our own biological children.

I have recommended A Gift of Hope Adoptions to several mother’s considering adoptions for their babies. They have been so happy to feel supported and empowered through their decision.

“We adopted both of our sons through A Gift of Hope Adoptions. They helped us every step of the way and answered all the questions we had, and we had a lot! We would not be where we are today, with two busy boys in our family, if it wasn’t for A Gift of Hope.”

“We decided to use A Gift of Hope Adoptions because they are very personal and caring. The wait and uncertainty of adoption seemed daunting, but A Gift of Hope helped make the process go smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier with our beautiful child.”
