When you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy and worried about finances, it can feel like your options are limited. Maybe you’ve thought, “I can’t afford this right now. Abortion feels like my only choice.”
If that’s where you are, you’re not alone, and there are more possibilities than you might realize.
At A Gift of Hope Adoptions, we help women and families explore the option of adoption. There are ways to move forward that provide security, care, and peace of mind for both you and your child.
Schedule an appointment today to discuss your options and learn more about our services.
Why Finances Don’t Have to Decide Your Future
When money feels tight, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. However, before you make any decision, it’s important to know that abortion isn’t your only path, and it may not even be a legal option, depending on your situation.
Currently, abortion is legal in Missouri up to the point of fetal viability due to the passing of Amendment 3. However, if you have financial concerns and find yourself unexpectedly pregnant, it’s important to remember that you have more options than you think.
Parenting and adoption come with more resources and support than most people realize, and you never have to walk through either one alone.
Choosing Parenting
If your heart leans toward parenting but finances feel impossible, there is help available. Across Missouri, there are programs that provide free or low-cost essentials like prenatal care, diapers, clothing, and formula. Many communities also offer housing assistance, job placement programs, and food support.
We can help connect you to the practical and emotional support you need. You deserve to feel confident and cared for, and we’ll help you make an educated decision.
Understanding Adoption
For some women, adoption becomes a strong option when parenting doesn’t feel possible right now. At A Gift of Hope Adoptions, you remain in complete control throughout the process.
You choose:
- The family you want to raise your child
- The type of adoption plan that fits your comfort level: open, semi-open, or closed
- The amount of contact you want after placement
In Missouri, open adoptions are legally enforceable, meaning your ongoing relationship with your child and the adoptive family can be protected by law.
You’ll never pay adoption-related expenses, and many expectant mothers qualify for help with medical, legal, and living costs during pregnancy. Our team walks beside you, answering your questions and ensuring your wishes are respected at every step.
