Health coverage: Medical Assistance (Minnesota Medicaid)
Free or low-cost pregnancy care. Income limit: Medicaid up to 283% FPL; also offers CHIP 'unborn child' (FCEP) prenatal coverage, regardless of immigration status.
Must the father help pay for the pregnancy? Partly. A parentage judgment may order a parent to pay all or part of the reasonable expenses of the mother's pregnancy and confinement (birth), including her lost wages when medically necessary. These costs are collected as additional child support. A parentage case can be filed before birth but is paused until after the birth.
Minn. Stat. §257.66, subd. 3; §257.57, subd. 5

In Minnesota a parent can safely hand over a newborn up to 7 days old. Where: Hospitals, urgent care providers, or an ambulance dispatched after a 911 call. You can stay anonymous.
Adoption is another loving option; a pregnancy center above can connect you with adoption help.
