Pregnancy Options

Parenting

Parenting can feel like a scary word when you are facing an unplanned pregnancy. Stepping into motherhood or fatherhood may feel overwhelming, but you might be surprised at how naturally it comes to you.

Many people who choose to parent say it is the best decision they have made. Whether you are considering this option or already know you want to parent, here is some information to help you feel confident in your decision.

Deciding to Parent

Parenting brings ups and downs. The choice asks for humility and rewards you with great love and joy. Even people who carefully plan to be parents can still feel overwhelmed. You can never be fully prepared for the changes parenting brings.

Becoming a parent is a big decision and comes with real responsibility, so taking a step back to think over your options is a good idea. Common questions include:

• How am I going to work and take care of a child?
• How will I support my child financially?
• What resources are available to help me?
• Will my parents and friends support me?

These are typical questions. We have resources, community referrals, and support available if you decide on this option. We are here for you.
