Becoming a new mom or dad is challenging, but it also comes with great rewards. Here is more information about your parenting option so you can feel confident about your decision.

Your Parenting Option

Whether you are pregnant for the first time or have kids already, rarely does anyone feel ready to bring a child into the world. It can be messy, exciting, scary and fun all at the same time. You may even be a single parent and wondering if you can really do this on your own.

Choosing to parent is a big decision and one of great responsibility, so it’s important to take a step back and think over your options. Parenting is not impossible with the right resources and support.

Deciding to Parent

Children can bring joy and hope into a new parent’s life. You will see that the good days outweigh the hard ones. If you decide to say yes to the parenting journey you may have questions such as:

• How am I going to work & take care of a baby?
• How do I support my child financially?
• What resources can I get to help?
• Will my parents/friends support me?

Whether you are pregnant for the first time or have kids already, parenting can seem daunting. You are not alone. Know that even for a single parent, it is not impossible and we are here to help you on your journey.
