Is parenting right for me?

When considering whether parenting is right for you, it can help to think through the following questions:

• What might my life look like if I choose to parent?
• How might I feel if I choose to parent?
• How might I feel if I choose not to parent?
• Will my partner support my parenting decision? If not, where can I go to find support?
• Am I financially stable? If not, what financial resources are available to help?

You don’t have to know all the answers. At  Alternatives Laurel Highlands Pregnancy Center, we can walk you through all your questions and help you understand what resources are available to help support you financially and emotionally.
