This center does not perform, recommend or refer for abortion. The cost and type of abortion procedure are determined by how many weeks a woman is into the pregnancy.

]]> This is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your life. Before you make your final decision, you owe it to yourself to get as much information as possible.

An abortion is an irreversible medical procedure. Before considering this option, it is important to determine how far along you are, and confirm that the fetus is in the uterus and has a heartbeat. A sonogram/ultrasound is the most reliable way to determine gestation and viability.  We can do that for you!

The Fort Worth Pregnancy Center provides limited obstetrical ultrasounds to qualified clients, free of charge. A first visit, including a pregnancy test, is required.

]]> Adoption is one option for you as you face an unplanned pregnancy. Through adoption, you can choose a family to provide all the benefits for your child that you may be unable to give through single parenting.

Adoption brings a positive ending to a challenging and fearful situation. Everyone involved benefits from this decision: the baby, the birthmother and the adoptive parents!

We can assist you in knowing more about the adoption process, how to contact an adoption agency, and what your legal rights are in making an adoption plan.

Considering adoption is one way that you can give life to your baby, while being able to continue to pursue your goals for your future. Come in and talk with one of our Client Advocates.

The Fort Worth Pregnancy Center is not an adoption agency, but we can give you several references for adoption agencies within the state of Texas.

  • What are my reasons for wanting an abortion?
