Considering Parenting
There is so much to consider when you think about becoming a parent. It is a hard choice, but many women in similar situations have done it successfully. With determination and a lot of love, you can do it, too.
Ask yourself the following questions to begin thinking about parenting:
- Will my partner or my parents help me financially?
- Where will we live?
- Who will help me emotionally?
- Will I be able to finish school?
- Can I continue my career?
- Can I afford to parent my child?
- Where can I get medical assistance?
These are legitimate questions, and we’re here to help you find the answers. We can discuss your situation and find solutions to your most pressing issues.
Parenting Education
No one is ever completely prepared to parent. No matter how many podcasts you listen to or books you read, there will always be circumstances out of your control. However, when you know what to expect, you can handle any situation.
The LIFE Center offers no-cost parenting classes to teach you about the stages of pregnancy and childbirth and how to safely and lovingly care for your baby. Learn about all the “firsts” in a baby’s life. You can complete these fun, easy classes quickly at your convenience.
