Pregnant and don't know what to do?
With an unplanned pregnancy, there are choices available to you. You can choose to parent the child, you can plan for an adoption with a loving family, or you can terminate the pregnancy through abortion.
You are the one to decide, even though your family, friends, and others will give you opinions and advice. The choice is yours.
We are here to listen to you.
If you are considering termination of your pregnancy, we want to help you understand your options and rights.
Choice can help support you through this process. Scroll through this page to learn about your options and discover how we can help.
If you are pregnant and need someone to talk to immediately, you call text or call our support line at 503-550-9310.
Thinking About Adoption?
If you are unable to parent, you have the option—and the right—to make an adoption plan. You are in complete control of your adoption plan, from choosing the family, deciding on level of openness, making a birth plan, and more. You can shape your adoption around your desires and needs, and what works best for yourself and your baby.
At Choice, we have qualified, loving families ready to support and cherish both you and your baby. We believe in the power of open adoption, because it often leads to the best outcomes for children—but the decision is yours. If open adoption feels right for you, we have families who are waiting, eager to build a lifelong relationship with you, and committed to honoring you, your child, and your choice—through pregnancy and beyond.

Thinking About Parenting?
Not sure if you’re ready to parent? An unplanned pregnancy can bring a lot of uncertainty, especially if you were already unsure. Parenting is a big commitment—emotionally, financially, and legally—and it’s important to understand what it really takes. In some cases, there may also be a risk of Child Welfare involvement. Knowing your rights and whether you're at risk of losing custody is an important part of making an informed decision. Learn more about the child welfare system here.
Some say no one is ever truly “ready” to be a parent—but sometimes, we know we’re really not. Parenting takes more than love—it takes stability and support. Only you can decide what’s best for you and your baby, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to walk with you and connect you to resources and people who care.
