If you're pregnant and exploring your options, understanding both Georgia's abortion laws and your adoption choices can help you make an informed decision that's right for you. We’re here to help you navigate what is legal, talk through the emotional side effects, what to expect, and connect you with resources whether or not you choose to make an adoption plan.
When Is Abortion or the Abortion Pill Legal in Georgia?
Georgia law generally prohibits most abortions once fetal cardiac activity can be detected, which is often around six weeks of pregnancy. There are limited exceptions, including certain medical emergencies, cases involving rape or incest that meet legal reporting requirements, and situations involving a medically futile pregnancy. Because laws and court cases can change, it's important to get current, accurate information about your specific situation. (Please note the date of this article.)
If you are considering ordering the abortion pill online or driving to a local clinic in Georgia, we can connect you to a free ultrasound provider near you so you can first confirm how far along you are and if the pregnancy is viable at no cost. Give us a call or message us to learn more.
Is Adoption Always an Option?
Yes. Whether you're early in your pregnancy or close to your due date, adoption remains a legal option throughout your pregnancy and after your baby's birth. You are never required to make an adoption plan simply because you contact an adoption agency. The decision is always yours.
With adoption, you can:
Choose the adoptive family.
Decide between an open, semi-open, or closed adoption.
Create an adoption plan that fits your wishes.
Receive support before, during, and after placement.
