Arlayshia came to Options Now after hearing about us from a friend. Although it was scary to think she might be pregnant, she says the people at Options Now were very nice. After the pregnancy test and ultrasound, she knew that she would carry and parent her baby.
Arlayshia says, “Aleigha is 4 years old now. She is adventurous, sweet, loves to read and is eager to learn. Oh, and she loves dancing like a ballerina. She’s a Diva!”
During our photo session, Aleigha was absolutely adorable and turned out to be a very talented model. She was a delight!
Her Mom, Arlayshia, would say to anyone who found themselves in the same circumstances, “Always remember that you are a Superwoman and God always makes a way!” And to Options Now she says, “You are greatly appreciated and have helped a lot of women including myself!”

Luke and Amanda were glad to find Options Now when they first learned they were pregnant. They came in again with their second pregnancy. Now, with two beautiful active girls, Graycen, “Gracie”, who is 2 years old and Madycin, “Maddie”, who will be one in May, sometimes life can seem overwhelming. Luke and Amanda took our Parenting, Earn While You Learn (EWYL), Class to help them better cope with having 2 young children. Amanda says, “They can be a handful!” Her advice? “Always ask for help and at Options Now they really make you feel special! “

Jacob & Ronneaq were referred to Options Now by a relative. They were excited to be having a baby and came to Options Now for Pregnancy Testing as well as Parenting Classes. Their baby Stella is a bubbly, beautiful little 8 month old baby girl, who also happens to be our own Community Relations Director, Shelly Wright’s grandbaby. Shelly had come to Options Now, years before as a single college student to find out that she was pregnant with her son Jacob, Stella’s Daddy. They all agree that the services of Options Now are a tremendous help and benefit to women and families in our community.

Allison was 25, single and thought she might be pregnant. “How could she raise a child?” She had always planned on having children and a family, but this was not how she had pictured it. She was nervous and scared. After 4 at-home pregnancy tests, she told her boyfriend, Antravius,  that she might be pregnant. He says, “I realized that I had been going nowhere, and knew that I had to make a change.” He responded with his full support.

Allison had found Options Now through Facebook and together they visited the clinic for a medical pregnancy test and ultrasound. Allison fell in love when she saw the ultrasound of their baby.

With the support of her boyfriend, her family,  and the people at Options Now,  Allison and Antravius prepared for their baby to be born. During that time they came to the “Earn While You Learn” Classes at the Clinic. They prayed through their fears and welcomed their healthy baby, Nyla, into the world. Antravius says, ”As soon as she was born, the first thing she did was grab my finger with her tiny hand. She’s been Daddy’s girl ever since!”

Allison and Antravius call Options Now family,  and thank God for bringing them to the Clinic when they needed help and guidance. Now, as a married couple, they are not only raising their daughter but have made plans to become Foster Parents. They recommend that anyone, finding themselves in the same circumstances of an unplanned pregnancy, go to Options Now!

Thank you so much for being part of Allison and Antravius’ story! (Click here for their video)

Alyssa was pregnant with Kaiyleanna when she first came to Options Now 5 years ago after hearing about us from her sister. Kaiyleanna was 4 years old last year when she was our July 2019 Calendar baby and now her twin baby brother’s Darius and Daniel are our 2020 Calendar Cover and September babies.
When Alyssa came back to Options Now in 2019, she was shocked and excited to find out that she was expecting twins. She said, “Excited because I had just had 2 miscarriages. The boys were born at 28 weeks and spent 3 months in NICU. But they did so well that they got to come home and now at 10 months old they are doing amazing!”
Alyssa advises others who might find themselves in similar circumstances, “Everyone at Options Now is so caring and understanding! Never give up. It may seem hard but being a Mother is the best feeling!” To Options Now she says. “Thank you so much for the services and support you provide!”

Rachel found out about Options Now when she thought she might be pregnant. She came in to have a Pregnancy Test and Ultrasound. Even though she was single, she knew that she wanted to have her baby. The loving people at Options Now helped me know that I am not alone, and God is always with me no matter what! Now she has a beautiful baby girl, Rylee!
