Considering Parenting?
Welcoming a child into the world means a lot of changes. Some are big, some are small, some are exciting, and others are scary.
You don’t have to prepare for parenting alone. We can help you become the best parent you can be.
Many people who want to parent have questions or concerns about single parenting, continuing their education or career, financial stability, medical care, and other topics. We will be happy to help you.
Do I Have What It Takes to Be A Parent?
As you think about parenting, you likely have a good idea of the commitment required. Parenting isn’t a one-time decision you make quickly. It’s a lifelong commitment that brings challenges and joy.
Here are some questions to consider if you haven’t already:
- Do I have support from my partner or parents?
- How will parenting change my job or school?
- Can I financially support a child?
- What resources are available to help me raise my child?
