05 Jan Unplanned Pregnancy Options and Where to Find Trusted Help

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming. Whether you just found out you are pregnant or you are already thinking about what comes next, it’s normal to feel uncertain, scared, or unsure. But you don’t have to navigate this alone. There are options and trusted resources to help you make a decision that aligns with your values and hopes.

Adoption

Adoption is a loving and courageous choice where you make a plan for your child’s future. With adoption, you choose the family you feel is the best fit, including how much contact you want with them after placement (open, semi-open, or closed adoption). 

Colorado Christian Services Can Help

Colorado Christian Services (CCS) is a licensed, nonprofit adoption agency in Colorado that has supported thousands of women facing unplanned pregnancies for more than 62 years. We provide free, confidential counseling and personalized support, whether you choose to parent or pursue adoption. 

Nonjudgmental Options Counseling

A trained caseworker will sit with you in person, by phone, or wherever you feel comfortable — and talk through your situation, feelings, and options without pressure. You are in control of your decisions. 

Adoption Planning Support

If you choose adoption:

• You’ll receive guidance throughout every step, including matching with a family, legal planning, and creating a birth plan.
• You get to decide how much contact you want with your child and the adoptive parents.
• All adoption services, including legal support, are provided free of charge to you. 

Parenting Support

If you choose to parent, CCS can help with:

• Developing a parenting plan.
• Connecting you to community resources and referrals.
• Helping you access basic needs like baby supplies. 

What to Expect in Your First Conversation

When you reach out to CCS:

• A calm, confidential conversation, no judgment, no rush.
• Clear information about parenting, adoption, and resources.
• A personalized plan based on your needs and wishes.
• Continuous support from a dedicated caseworker throughout the adoption process.

Adoption in Colorado

No two adoption journeys are alike. The good news? In Colorado, you can shape your adoption plan in the way that feels right for you. 

• You choose the family. Every adoptive family with CCS is thoroughly screened and approved—you can pick the family that feels like the best fit for your baby.
• You choose the type of adoption. Whether you want an open, semi-open, or closed adoption, you get to decide the level of contact and communication you are comfortable with.
• You choose the timing. There’s no pressure, and you can take as much time as you need to make a decision that is best for you.

Your caseworker will be by your side, helping you design a plan that reflects your child’s needs, values, and hopes for their future.

Adoption Is Not “Giving Up”

Choosing adoption does not mean you are “giving up” your baby. Adoption is actually the opposite. It’s an act of courage and love. It’s about looking ahead and imagining the kind of life you want for your child, filled with stability, opportunity, and care.

You don’t need to have everything figured out today, and you don’t even have to know if adoption is the choice you want. We’re here if you’d like to talk to someone who understands your situation.

Call or text us anytime at (720) 280-9517. No judgment. Just support.

Positive Adoption Language Note

Our blog uses common search terms so people can find help more easily. At Colorado Christian Services, we prefer positive adoption language that respects everyone involved. If you’re pregnant and exploring adoption, we’d be honored to help.
