Parent
Taking responsibility for your actions and providing support for your child is a noble and commendable action. This choice takes into consideration what is in the best interest of the child, even when the decision whether or not to marry your girlfriend has not yet been made. Financial assistance resources and information can be made available.
Adoption
Adoption is a loving, unselfish choice. Depending on the circumstances involved, this difficult decision may be the best one for your baby. Your partner may decide that this option is the one she wants for the baby and maybe you feel like your baby is being abandoned. Think again! Adoption can be a plan for your child that will give him the future you may not be able to provide.
Adoption agencies and attorneys thoroughly screen families seeking to adopt. Some open adoption opportunities allow you to communicate with your child and exchange pictures
Abortion
This option seems to hide the fact that your girlfriend got pregnant, but carries possible traumatic consequences for everyone involved. Along with the possibility of physical risks for your partner, evidence-based research has shown that both men and women may suffer "Post Abortion Stress" following an abortion procedure. PAS has a number of symptoms that originate in feelings of guilt, shame, and regret for the choice that was made.
