What are my options?
You have three options. You can choose to give your baby life and
either parent or make an adoption plan or, you can choose to terminate
your pregnancy. There are no easy answers. There is no easy way
out when you find yourself facing an unexpected pregnancy. It's
important to take some time, get information and seek advice before
you make your decision.
How can I be sure that I will make
the right decision?
It takes time to make a good decision. Try not to get caught up
in making a snap decision. Take your time. In order to make the
right decision for you, it's important to weigh the positive and
negative of all your options. Talk to the people who know you and
love you. Seek advice from someone who is older than you like a
parent, doctor, pastor or someone else that you trust. Make sure
that you get good, accurate information on abortion, parenting and
adoption. Consider that how you feel right now may change and you
may feel different weeks, months or even years from now. Explore
not only your options, but the reality that option may have in your
future.
Do you provide transportation to Real Choices Pregnancy Care Center?
No, we do not provide transportation. However, we do have three locations that are near bus stops. Go to our home page and find the location nearest to you.

not tell anyone about you or call anyone. We are a place that you
can feel safe and secure. We are here to help you and assist you
in making the best decision for you.

No. Real Choices Pregnancy Care Center is here to provide information
on all of your choices and to empower you to make the best choice,
not only for today, but for the future. The choice you make is your
own.
Will you lay a guilt trip on me?
No. We are not here to judge you, tell you how to feel, or what
to do. Our goal is to provide you with accurate information. We
want you to know that you do have options in front of you. You shouldn't
feel forced or rushed into a decision. We are here to support you
and talk with you.
Are you a religious organization?

But we are not here to tell you what to do or how you should live.

What about my education?
Can I join a support group?
What kind of help can I get?
It depends on what kind of help you need. We have referrals for
housing, medical aid, legal aid, clothing and food. We offer support
groups for single, pregnant women and for single moms with their
babies. We are available to talk with you and help you make good
decisions for you and your baby.
What about my education?
You can continue your education. You do not have to drop out of
school. Whether you are in middle school, high school or college,
there are options for you. There are some high schools that offer
programs for single parents, with in-school daycare for their baby
child. If you are in college and are afraid that you can't afford
to continue on with your education, keep in mind that you are eligible
for grants and loans if you are pregnant or a single parent. Married
student housing is also available to single, pregnant students.
We have seen many of our clients graduate from high school and college.
You can still achieve your goals!
Can I join a support group?
Yes. We have several different types of support groups that might
interest you. If you need help in finding another one, we would
be happy to help you. Find a support group that meets your needs.

What is your stand on abortion?
Will you try to talk me out of having an abortion?
Can I join a support group?
What is your stand on abortion?
Although we do not make abortion referrals, we do advise you to
talk with a physician who knows you and who you trust about this
choice. We are not for abortion, and we do not refer for abortions.
We are not here to judge you. We do want you to have all the facts
about abortion. We want you to know all the risks involved with
an abortion procedure, including the physical and emotional side
effects that may occur. You should have correct information when
making any decision.
Will you try to talk me out of having
an abortion?
No, because the choice is yours. We will not judge you. We will,
however, advise you not to rush your decision. You have time to
explore all of your options. When faced with an unexpected pregnancy,
no choice is an easy one. An abortion is irreversible. A rushed
decision is rarely a good one. We do want you know the facts about
abortion but the decision is yours. We are here to answer questions
and talk about your feelings. We are here to support you.
Can I join a support group?
Yes, we have a support group that you can join. The post-abortion
support groups fro women provide a forum for healing from the pain
and loss of a child to an abortion. Real Choices Pregnancy Care
Center provides a safe and confidential environment to share with
other women who have experienced this type of loss. We also have
post-abortion support groups for men. We assist men through group
or individual study so they can deal with the issues they face as
they heal from the loss of a child from an abortion.
