What Are My Second-Trimester Pregnancy Options?

If you are in your second trimester and facing an unexpected pregnancy, it’s important to understand your options and get the support you need.

In Kentucky, abortion is illegal in most cases, meaning that obtaining a second-trimester abortion would require traveling out of state, often at significant financial and emotional costs.

While abortion may not be a legal or accessible option in Kentucky, you still have two primary choices: parenting and adoption.

At ALC Pregnancy Resource Center, we are here to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your options and receive the care and resources you need.

Considering Parenting

If you’re thinking about parenting, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities ahead. Some questions to consider include:

  • Do I have a heart to parent?
  • Would parenting feel more feasible if I had the right support?
  • What resources are available to help me succeed as a parent?

No one feels fully prepared to become a parent, but support and resources can make a huge difference. At ALC Pregnancy Resource Center, we offer parenting classes, material assistance, and emotional support to help you thrive if you choose this path.

Considering Adoption

Adoption is another option that allows you to choose the future you want for your child. When considering adoption, think about:

  • What level of contact do I want with my child and the adoptive family?
  • What kind of future do I want for my child?
  • Do I feel ready to create an adoption plan that aligns with my values and goals?

Adoption puts you in control, allowing you to choose the adoptive family and the type of relationship you want to maintain. It’s a brave and selfless choice that can provide your child with stability and opportunities while allowing you to stay connected if you desire.
