When a woman is faced with the decision to have her baby and offer him/her up for adoption or choose abortion, this difficult decision is met with turmoil, uncertainty and a sense of overwhelming loneliness. The reasons these women should consider placing their child up for adoption instead of abortion include the following:

  • Assistance – Instead of choosing to terminate and end a baby’s life, birthmothers can place their babies for adoption with reputable adoption firms, such as Heart to Heart Adoptions in Utah. Heart to Heart Adoptions is a national non profit adoption agency. They offer exceptional assistance for pregnant mothers, including free medical care, housing, financial assistance and counseling support. Adoption is considered a gift of life.
