An unplanned pregnancy can bring a flood of emotions—fear, confusion, protectiveness, and concern for the future. If you’re thinking through your options, you may have wondered about adoption. Maybe you’ve heard things that made you unsure. Maybe no one’s ever explained what adoption really looks like today.
At The SHARE Center, we’re here to provide information, answer questions, and support you—no matter where you are in your decision. We don’t pressure you to choose adoption or any particular path. We simply want you to have the clarity and care you need.
So let’s break down some common myths and truths about adoption.
❌ Myth: Adoption means “giving up” your baby
✅ Truth: Adoption is making a plan—one that reflects love and sacrifice.
Many women say things like “I could never give my baby away.” And we understand that—because adoption isn’t “giving away.” It’s choosing to place your child into the care of a loving family when you feel unable to provide what they need at this time.
That’s not weakness. That’s strength.
It takes incredible courage to carry a pregnancy, to give birth, and to make a plan with your child’s best interests in mind. That kind of decision is made out of love, not abandonment.
❌ Myth: If I choose adoption, I’ll never see my child again
✅ Truth: You can choose the level of contact you want.
Modern adoption looks very different from what it did decades ago. Today, most adoptions are open or semi-open, which means you can:
Choose the adoptive family
Get updates—photos, letters, even phone calls or visits
Stay in contact if that’s something you want
Or you can choose a closed adoption if that feels right for you. In every case, you decide what level of connection you’re comfortable with.
❌ Myth: I won’t have support if I choose adoption
✅ Truth: You don’t have to walk through this alone.
If adoption feels like a possible path, we’ll be right beside you.
While The SHARE Center doesn’t arrange adoptions, we can:
- Help you process your feelings and questions
- Refer you to licensed, ethical adoption agencies that respect your values

- Help with creating a hospital plan for your delivery experience
