CONSIDERING PARENTING?

If you’re thinking about making the choice to parent, we can walk alongside you and help you prepare for the adventure ahead. While every pregnancy may not be planned, every parent can prepare to lovingly care for the little one they are now responsible for. We can also help provide the practical resources you will need to provide for your baby’s arrival.

 

Parenting brings with it much responsibility, but also great joy. Whether you would become a single parent or you are parenting together, you are faced with many decisions to make for you and your baby.

​

Is parenting the right choice for me?

Before you decide if parenting is the right choice for you, you want to carefully evaluate your situation. Asking yourself a few important questions can help you organize your thoughts and think about parenting as an option.

- 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 for you in your community?

​

These are just a couple of questions to think about, when you make an appointment at Positive Options, we guide you through this process and ask you questions to help you decide.
