Austin, Texas, Nov 13, 2012 \/ 11:50 am (CNA<\/a>).- The Austin-based pro-life media group Heroic Media has released a new video for National Adoption Month to encourage women with unexpected pregnancies to consider adoption.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cMost women don't understand the feeling of empowerment adoption brings,\u201d Marissa Cope, Heroic Media\u2019s Director of Marketing, Communications and Research, said Nov. 12. \u201cWe believe this video will alert women to a possibility they may not have yet considered and ultimately save the lives of unborn children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tCope said fewer than one percent of women with unplanned pregnancies choose adoption, even though there are 30 to 40 couples desiring to adopt for every adoptive baby.<\/p>\n

\tThe ad is a result of Heroic Media\u2019s partnership with Bethany Christian Services to publicize resources for pregnant women.<\/p>\n

\tThe commercial, titled \u201cThe Adoption Option,\u201d is available on YouTube. It will be exclusively broadcast on the Oxygen Network beginning Nov. 12. It will air during the reality TV program \u201cI\u2019m Having Their Baby,\u201d about pregnant women going through the adoption process.<\/p>\n

\tThe ad features a pregnant woman who tells the viewer why she plans to put her unborn child up for adoption.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI\u2019m pregnant, but I\u2019m not in a position to care for this child,\u201d the woman says, placing her hand over her womb. \u201cI want him to be with a family who will love him and give him the things that I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI\u2019ve learned that through adoption, I can choose the family who will raise him. And I can receive help through the rest of my pregnancy,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAdoption just seems like the best option. For him, and for me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\tAbout half of the more than six million pregnancies in the U.S. each year are not planned. The ad intends to target these pregnant women, especially those in their twenties who account for more than half of all abortions.<\/p>\n

\tThe ad can be seen at the Heroic Media website at www.heroicmedia.org\/adoption<\/a>.<\/p>\n
