PARENTING

If you are considering parenting, you are acknowledging the part of yourself
that wants to continue the pregnancy and bring a baby into the world.
Let's give it a realistic look:

Pros of Parenting

• You will have the joy of bringing your baby into the world. • You will have the opportunity to watch your child grow up. • There is no guilt related to this decision. • It may be hard to imagine but, even an unplanned child can pull a family together. • No one ever regrets having a baby.

Cons of Parenting

• Facing your family with an unplanned pregnancy can be terrifying. • Parenting is a lot of responsibility, especially if you are facing this alone. • Parenting sometimes makes it more challenging to pursue career plans and/or education options. • Parenting can be a financial challenge. • A child limits your personal freedom.
