Parenting and Adoption in North Idaho: Exploring Your Options with Confidence
An unplanned pregnancy can bring a mix of emotions—excitement, uncertainty, and sometimes even fear. If you’re facing this reality, you may be wondering what comes next. At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we are here to walk alongside you, providing compassionate care, education, and resources so you can make the best decision for yourself and your baby.
For many women, the two primary options are parenting or adoption. Both paths require careful thought, but no woman should have to navigate them alone. Whether you choose to raise your child or make an adoption plan, Open Arms offers support every step of the way.
Considering Parenting? We’re Here to Help.
Parenting is a life-changing journey, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you choose to parent, Open Arms provides:
✅ Pregnancy and Parenting Education – Learn about prenatal care, newborn care, child development, and parenting strategies through one-on-one mentoring and group classes.
✅ Material and Practical Support – Earn baby essentials like diapers, clothing, and gear through our Open Arms Outfitters Boutique and Baby Bundle Program.
✅ Healthy Relationships and Life Skills Coaching – Develop strong communication skills, financial literacy, and career readiness to build a stable future for you and your child.
✅ Fatherhood Support – Classes and coaching for dads who want to grow in their role and support their child’s mother.
Considering Adoption? You Have Options.
Adoption is not about “giving up” your baby—it’s about making a thoughtful, loving plan for your child’s future. If you are not in a place to parent but want to choose life for your baby, adoption allows you to:
✅ Choose the Adoptive Family – You can select the family you feel is best for your child.
✅ Decide on the Type of Adoption – Choose an open, semi-open, or closed adoption based on your comfort level.
✅ Receive Support Throughout the Process – Many adoption agencies provide financial assistance for medical and living expenses during pregnancy.
✅ Give Your Child a Loving, Prepared Home – Adoption allows your baby to grow up in a stable, nurturing environment with parents who are ready and waiting to love them.
