Parenting

I don’t know how to be a parent.

I’m not financially stable enough to parent.

My partner doesn’t support my pregnancy.

There are numerous reasons you might be hesitant to parent, and your feelings and rationale are valid. However, if you have a heart to parent, resources are available to make it possible.

It’s essential to keep in mind that your circumstances can change. For example, if you’re worried about your finances today, landing a better-paying job or finishing school can help increase your budget.

The bottom line is that your desire to parent is the most important factor when it comes to making this decision. Many women in similar circumstances have chosen to parent out of a genuine desire and found it to be the most rewarding decision they could have made.

Is Parenting Right For Me?

Only you can know if parenting is the right choice for you. Asking yourself the following questions can help you think through this option:

• What might my life look like if I choose to parent?
• How might I feel if I choose to parent? If I don’t choose to parent?
• What factors in my current situation are making me hesitant about parenting? How might these circumstances change?
• What would it look like to accomplish my goals while parenting?
