What Can Guys Do With an Unplanned Pregnancy?

Nothing can shake you quite as much as hearing your partner say, “I’m pregnant.” Now, what do you do? She’s the one pregnant, but you have a responsibility, too. We appreciate that you are concerned, and we hope we can offer some reassurance it’s going to be okay.

Have You Discussed Your Options?

Once the shock of her pregnancy settles, it’s time to consider the available options. Depending on your current relationship, you may consider marriage or co-parenting. If you do not see a future for the two of you, why not consider placing your child for adoption?

Adoption lets you both build a relationship with your child and their adoptive family without the day-to-day responsibilities of parenting. It is not easy, but we encourage you to look closer.

Is Adoption Right For Us?

Today’s adoption process is very different from a few decades ago. Now, the expectant mother and father make the decisions. Together, you can look at the profiles of potential couples approved for adoption and pick the right one to raise your child. You set your child on the path you hope they take in the future.

Adoption services are free, and your partner’s medical and legal expenses will be covered. However, undergoing adoption counseling is essential. Placing a child for adoption can be emotionally challenging, and you and your partner need to be confident it is the right decision for you. 

Lamb of God Maternity Homes Offers The Assistance You Need

Our maternity homes offer a safe, peaceful environment where your partner can learn more about her options. We provide 24/7 care, including access to proper prenatal healthcare and delivery. In addition, we provide adoption counseling and referrals to reputable agencies in Utah and California. 

We’ll walk closely with her throughout her pregnancy at Lamb of God Maternity Homes. Through a close mentorship, she’ll be prepared for a successful future.

What Is Your Next Step?

Talking openly with her about your thoughts for the future is critical. Don’t say, “Whatever you decide is fine with me.” This is your child’s future, too. Although the decision is ultimately hers, she needs to know you care. 

The best thing you can offer her is your support. Listen to her fears and hope for the future. Talk about your expectations. Work side-by-side to find the best solution.
