Is keeping your baby realistic? Is parenting the right choice for you? We’re here to help you take the time to address your parenting concerns, and help you find the resources you need.

You are not alone. There are many people who care about you and your baby, are willing to stand with you, and help you find the courage and resources you need to parent your child.

Parenting

Welcoming a child into the world means a lot of changes. Some are big, some are smaller; some are exciting, others are scary. You don’t have to prepare for parenting alone, we can help you become the best parent you can be.

​

Questions to ask yourself and discuss with our client advocates include:

  • Does the father want to be involved?

  • Do you have a support system to help you?

  • How do you plan to financially support yourself and your child?

  • What resources are available in your community?

  • What will my future look like?

  • Can I still attend school or work?

  • How can I possibly afford to be a parent?

  • What does a healthy pregnancy look like?

  • What if I already have other children?

  • How can I parent if I am alone?

  • Can I still choose adoption?
     

Being a parent is exciting and challenging. These are just some of the questions to consider, and our client advocates are here for you, ready to talk through this option and whether or not it is right for you.
