Life has a way of throwing surprises our way, and few surprises are as life-altering as an unplanned pregnancy. The moment you realize – or even just suspect – that you’re pregnant can trigger a flood of emotions and leave you feeling overwhelmed about how to move forward. Rest assured that you don’t need to figure everything out right away.
In Texas, options for most women are limited to parenting or adoption. Most likely, you’ll have plenty of time to carefully weigh both options. However, if you will be carrying a baby to term, we recommend that you first focus on making sure both you an baby will stay healthy and safe throughout your pregnancy.
If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy in Round Rock, the good news is that you’ll have a lot of support and resources available as you take each step. We’ve listed below some suggestions for organizations near you to connect with.

Explore Your Options
Not every unexpected pregnancy is a happy surprise. There are a lot of reasons women feel like raising a child right now isn’t right for them, and it’s important to explore those concerns. Sometimes, if a woman wants to be a parent, we can help her find a way. In other situations, we can help her explore adoption as an alternative. There is no right or wrong choice, and we support whatever decisions you make.
Explore Adoption in Round Rock
Adoption Advocates helps women with unplanned pregnancies explore adoption as an option – without judgment or pressure. Our goal is to provide a honest, open look at adoption so that you can make the decision that’s best for you and your child.
As a nonprofit adoption agency, we’ve been providing free adoption support and services since 1991. Our main office in Central Austin offers a safe place to discuss your situation and — if it feels right — begin making an adoption plan. We’re also happy to meet you in Round Rock if that’s more convenient for you.
