Instructions for proper nutrition during pregnancy is provided. I don't want an abortion, but I can't keep and take care of my baby. Another choice available to Smithlawn's clients is adoption. Choosing adoption means making a decision based on logical thinking instead of just emotions. It means placing your baby's welfare above your feelings.
