Abortion

The two main types of abortion are surgical abortion and the abortion pill. Both abortion types eradicate the pregnancy. Our Licensed Medical Professionals (nurses) can provide the information you need and answer any questions you might have.

Adoption

There are many adoption agencies that will help you find a family for your baby.  In the state of Georgia the birth mom has the right to choose and meet the family prior to placing the child for adoption.  This is a beneficial option if you do not want to parent or abort the baby. There are several different types of adoption: closed, semi-open, and open. Learning about each adoption option is very beneficial when processing through an unplanned pregnancy.

Parenting

Parenting your child does require taking responsibility for your child’s wellbeing such as his or her health, education, and other factors. Certain elements to consider before choosing to parent would be your educational journey, living situation, and familial support. While parenting a child at a young age can be difficult, it is possible with the right mindset and the Women’s Clinic of Atlanta’s assistance.

Before choosing any of the above options, a Women’s Clinic of Atlanta medical professional will gladly discuss your options with you and help you determine the best route to take. You are not alone! Simply call or text us at 678-764-0857 to schedule an appointment.
