My Girlfriend is pregnant, how do I support her?
Did your pregnant girlfriend recently share that she is carrying your child?
What can you say to her? What say do you have in this & what are the options? And what if you disagree with your pregnant girlfriend’s decision?
First, it is important to know that there are options for this unplanned pregnancy.
You can text one of our pregnancy counselors 24/7, who can walk you through each option and help you determine the pros and cons of your specific situation. This helps ensure you get complete, accurate information about your options, so you can be knowledgeable as you talk with your pregnant girlfriend.
One of the options that can be hard to learn about on your own is adoption. There is a lot of false information out there. Lifeline Children’s Services was created for birth parents and is dedicated to lifetime support for birth fathers and mothers. You decide the right family to raise your child from all the couples looking to adopt. You can think through your desires for openness in the adoption plan.
Maybe your girlfriend told you she’s thinking about making an adoption plan. You can walk through the process of gathering information with a local pregnancy counselor. You do not have to do this alone.
Second, remember that you have time to make the choice that is right for you and your pregnant girlfriend.
Even if you need to make a last-minute adoption plan, it is important to take your time to understand all that is involved and figure out your priorities in your relationship.
