Parenting
When you first face an unplanned pregnancy, none of your options may sound good. The fact is…you did not plan on this happening at this point in your life. You have plans. Maybe it’s school, your career, your relationship, or whatever else you may have going on. Being pregnant just does not seem to fit in your plans right now.

So is parenting an option?

Choosing to parent is a very difficult decision to make.  Everyone has their own unique situation and obstacles to face.

If you are concerned about resources, there are many options available to you. One such organization is the Nurturing Network, an international charitable organization that responds to the immediate and comprehensive needs of women facing an unplanned pregnancy. They are active in all 50 states and in 30 foreign countries. Nurturing Network offers resources such as housing, legal assistance, financial help, medical services, educational and employment opportunities and more. Assistance is provided without charge and is available without regard to a person’s race, creed or economic circumstances. Visit the resources page for additional options.

The Pregnancy Centers listed on this site are also dedicated to connecting you with resources in your area.
