What to do with an Unplanned Pregnancy while Enlisted?

By: Mardie Caldwell, C.O.A.P.

Being in the military can be an exciting and adventurous life. But an
unplanned pregnancy may not work well into your current life style. In fact,
pregnancy and the military is often a very tricky pair of circumstances.

The military has rules about whom you can associate with. If you have
become pregnant by a man that, according to the military's code, you were not
suppose to be intimate with, you could be in a very sticky situation. But no
matter who the father of your child is, if you need help with an unplanned
pregnancy, the military has a hard time providing that help for you. There are
resources for you that specialize in helping enlisted women with adoption and
helping them get back on their feet.

There are many circumstances that make pregnancy in the military difficult.
But no matter why it is difficult for you, you will want to get some advice and
help in your options. USA Adoption
specializes in military adoption services. It does not matter where you live
in the United States, they can help you find and select a loving adoptive family
to adopt your baby. You can choose to stay in touch after the adoption through
open adoption planning.

Being pregnant is a scary time in your life. Being stationed away from your
loved ones while being pregnant can be stressful to handle without a plan.
There are many things to deal with and many questions you may have. Maybe
you are considering keeping the baby, or maybe you know you would like to
place the baby with an adoptive family. There are options for you and plenty of
support; you can call 1-800-923-6784 24 hours a day to get answers to your
questions today.

As an expectant birth mother, you will be able to look through each waiting
adoptive family's portfolio and read all about them. You will be able to see
glimpses inside their life right now and see if you think the family might be
right for your baby. Then, when you are ready, you might even decide to talk
with the family.

Open adoption is becoming more and more popular for birth mothers today.
There are many different levels of open adoption contact. You can decide to
have limited contact and just read about the family and decide they are right to
parent your baby. This option is sometimes not enough for birth mothers, so
they choose an even more open arrangement with on-going contact with
letters, photos and emails exchanged through the child's life.

As the birth mother, you can decide how open you would like the adoption to
be. Then you can look for adoptive parents that are willing to work with you on
that level. See Open Adoption
and Stand by me Adoption for
more articles and help. It is not unusual for birth mothers to continue contact
with the adoptive family through letters and pictures for years after the
adoption. You can decide with the adoptive family you choose and what level
of openness is going to work for your situation. Remember there is no cost to
you and you can select the adoptive parents when you are ready. Expenses
are covered in most adoptions.

An unplanned pregnancy in the military or any other time can be very
overwhelming. If you need help, visit
USA Adoption
or call 1 800 923-6784 24 hours a day to get answers to
your questions today or you can visit Lifetime Adoption to get help
today. Live Chat is also available to you on these sites.
