Considering Adoption in Kansas as a Pregnant Woman
Things are finally falling into place. You got accepted in grad school. You’re up for a promotion you’ve been working years for. Your dream job just called you and offered you a position with their company. For a moment, you feel on top of the world. But then, you stare into the digital screen of the at-home pregnancy test. There it is. Starting you in the face. The positive cross and the end of your world as you know it. Your mind is racing. What do I do next? Where do I look next? Is my world truly over? You take a deep breath and ask yourself a very difficult question: Should I keep my baby?
If you are a pregnant woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, whatever emotions you feel are natural. Whether they are good or bad, stress-filled or calm and in charge. You can still have the life you’ve always dreamt of. Pursue your schooling, career or the family you may already be raising. Adoption is an option for you, and Adoption Choices of Kansas is here to help you determine whether considering adoption in Kansas as a pregnant woman is the best choice for you and your baby.
- You Want to Continue Your Education
Being a student — whether that’s high school or college — is stressful on an everyday level. There’s enough pressure to meet deadlines, do your best work and get the degree you’ve been striving for. To have your future plans mapped out, and to be thinking about what will come next for you after graduation. Unexpectedly adding a pregnancy into the mix doesn’t help. Not to mention, raising the child after he or she has been born. But, it’s not the end of the world. Adoption is an option, and provides you with the chance to continue in your education as you had planned.
If you are experiencing an unwanted pregnancy during school, be sure to make an appointment with your health center to confirm the pregnancy and learn about the three options you have to choose from. Be sure to also see your school counselor or a mental health professional if you need help processing, navigating your thoughts and feelings and deciding what you should do.
- You Don’t Want to Be a Parent
Perhaps you never saw yourself as a mother. As a little girl, you were never into the societal fantasy of growing up and having a family of your own. You never played dolls or house with your friends and family.
That is completely okay. Parenthood is a huge commitment, and it’s not meant for everyone. So, if you feel like you don’t want to be a parent and raise a child, then considering adoption in Kansas as a pregnant woman is a great option for you.
- You’re Up for a Promotion or Your Dream Job
Your name has been called! You’ve basically had a constant IV of coffee and caffeine flowing through you to get to this point. Years of working yourself raw. Late night hours at the office and at home. Proving yourself over and over to your boss and colleagues. All your hard work and dedication has paid off. Your dream job awaits, and you couldn’t be happier!
In no way does a child fit into this picture. You’ve worked too hard to stop now, and you don’t have the physical, mental or emotional capacity to provide for the child in the way you know you would need to. If this sounds like you, adoption gives both you and your child the life you want. It gives you the time to continue on in your career, and your child an adoptive family who will love, care and support them.

Whether you fit within one of the above categories or a different one, adoption is an amazing option to consider. Especially if you are faced with an unplanned pregnancy and are at a place in your life where raising a child doesn’t fit.
