What Can I Do When It’s Too Late to Have an Abortion?

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve reached a point where abortion is no longer an option. You might be feeling anxious, alone, or unsure of what to do next. But there are options available to you, and you don’t have to walk this journey by yourself.

At Covenant Care Adoptions, we believe every woman deserves compassionate support, clear information, and real choices.

1. You Can Consider Parenting with Support

You don’t have to walk through the parenting journey alone, no matter your circumstances. There are many community resources and support services available to help you navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

If you choose to parent, we can connect you to support like:

Free pregnancy and parenting resources
Connection to prenatal care and medical support
Parenting classes and community programs

Our team can help you explore these resources, support you in building a plan for your pregnancy and your baby’s future, and connect you with local services that meet your needs.

2. You Can Consider an Open or Closed Adoption.

If parenting feels overwhelming right now, adoption is a courageous alternative that honors both you and your child. No matter how far along you are, it’s not too late to consider adoption, even after the point when abortion is no longer possible or even after you’ve given birth.

Here’s what makes adoption a hopeful choice:

You retain control of your plan.

You can choose the adoptive family — selecting parents who share your values and dreams for your child.

You make a loving plan for your child’s future.

Adoption is not “giving up”, it’s loving forward, giving your baby a family, stability, and a future you can feel proud of.

You’ll receive personal support every step of the way.

Our counselors walk alongside you — before, during, and after adoption — offering emotional support, resources, and encouragement.

Adoption services are free for birth parents.

At Covenant Care, there’s no cost to you for counseling or adoption planning.

Whether you choose a closed, semi-open, or open adoption plan, you get to design what feels right for you and your child.

3. You Still Have Time to Think Through Your Decision

Even if abortion isn’t possible anymore, you still have time to make a thoughtful, informed choice for your life and your child’s life.

In Georgia, for example, after a baby is born, you have a period of time to decide whether to move forward with an adoption plan, and professional counselors are there to walk with you through that process.

You never have to rush or feel pushed into a decision. A counselor’s role is to answer your questions, help you understand every option — and support whatever choice you make with dignity and care.
