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?
