If you are experiencing an unexpected pregnancy, you may need a little extra help as everyone does at times. It can be hard to know where to turn and how to find the help you need. At Lifetime Adoption, a Florida Adoption Agency in Pasco County, our caring adoption coordinators will guide you through the steps to access the resources you need. Give a coordinator a call or text at 1-800-923-6784 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

In addition to the resources available through Lifetime Adoption, there are many online and local resources available. You can contact 211 Pasco County online or by phone. The representatives at 211 can help connect you with housing, and medical and put you in touch with other local organizations that can provide support.

Considering adoption while coping with an unexpected pregnancy, can leave some women feeling alone and as if family and friends might not really understand what they are going through. It is often helpful to talk with someone who has been in your shoes or to hear stories about others who have had your experiences. You may want some advice or just someone to listen to without judgment. There are online and local organizations that can put you in touch with someone who will listen and help.

Counseling, as well as support groups, are available. There are opportunities, such as Birth Mother Blessing which can help with maternity clothes, and other necessities, and Lifetime Foundation, which offers scholarships and counseling. The On Your Feet Foundation offers counseling, birth mother retreats, and even financial assistance if you need to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.
There are many resources for you. Do not feel like you are alone. Visit some of these sites and contact your adoption coordinator to find the support and resources you need.
