Interested in Parenting?
There’s much to consider when it comes to parenting. Your thoughts on this option have likely been shaped by your childhood or perhaps from watching your friends and family raise children.
When you find yourself with an unexpected pregnancy, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, getting the facts on all your options, including parenting, is essential before moving forward.
Our client advocates are here to help you explore the ins and outs of parenting as you weigh this option.
What to Consider
Deciding to parent can feel challenging, especially if your current circumstances make it difficult to envision a bright future. However, know that your circumstances can change, and you have more support than you think.
Raising a child can be very rewarding, though it comes with difficulties. Learning what resources are available can help you make a confident decision.
As you consider parenting, think about the following questions:
- What about parenting would excite me most?
- What would I need to be a successful parent?
- Do I have a strong support system?
- Would the father of my child be involved in their life?
- Can I provide a stable, loving environment for my child?
- What are areas of my life (i.e., finances, work, education) I would want to work on to feel prepared?
It’s okay if you don’t have all the answers to these questions. Discussing this option and your desire to parent can help you decide.
