You have options. You also have time to ask questions.

Abortion, parenting, and adoption are very different paths. Learning what each one actually involves can make the decision feel less overwhelming.

Parenting Parenting can feel impossible when the biggest pressures are money, housing, school, work, childcare, or an unsupportive relationship. Before deciding that parenting cannot work, it may help to find out what practical help actually exists near you. See /parenting and /practical-support.

Adoption Adoption is not one single arrangement. Depending on the situation and applicable law, expectant parents may be able to consider open, semi-open, or more private forms of adoption and may have choices about the adoptive family. An adoption professional can explain the process and your rights. See /adoption.

You do not have to decide before you talk A nurse can listen to what is making this decision hard, answer general medical questions, and help you locate pregnancy centers, medical care, or other support in Idaho. We do not provide or refer for abortion.

Questions that can help you think clearly - What am I most afraid will happen if I continue this pregnancy? - What pressure am I feeling from other people? - Which concerns are temporary, and which are likely to remain? - What practical support would change the situation? - What do I still not understand about abortion, adoption, or parenting? - What decision would I make if I had more support?

Not sure what to do next? Talk with a nurse. You can ask questions, talk through what you know so far, and get help finding pregnancy centers and other resources in Idaho.

Laws about abortion differ by state. This page is public information for people in Idaho — not legal advice. Ask a nurse about your situation.
