What Can I Do if My Partner Doesn’t Support My Pregnancy?
An unplanned pregnancy is difficult enough, but finding out your partner doesn’t support you makes it even harder. Ultimately, the decision about your pregnancy is yours and yours alone. No one can force you to make a decision you don’t want to make.
An unsupportive partner means you need to determine if you are ready to parent on your own or if you should take a closer look at making an adoption plan. The caring team at New Life Adoptions can give you information to help you decide.
Determining Your Next Steps
Sometimes, when a partner doesn’t support a pregnancy, they insist on abortion. Your partner may not want to be responsible for parenting or may be concerned about finances, but you have other options.
Research those options. Many resources are available to assist single mothers. If you are thinking, “It’s not a good time to have a child,” or “I don’t want to parent,” take a closer look at placing your child for adoption.
We know of many families hoping to adopt who would love to raise your child. You can select the right couple to provide your child with a safe, loving, two-parent home.
Is Parenting an Option?
Ask yourself the following questions to see if single parenting is best for you:
- If my partner doesn’t support me, will my parents?
- Can I finish school or continue my career while parenting?
- Can I financially support a child on my own?
- Where will we live?
- Who will help me physically and emotionally?
- Do I have the desire to parent?
