Does parenting feel impossible right now? Maybe you’re lacking the family support you wish you had, or perhaps you’re struggling financially and can’t imagine adding another person to your budget. Whatever your concerns may be, your feelings are valid and understandable.
It’s important to remember that no one ever feels completely ready to parent. Many women who’ve faced similar challenges have chosen to parent and found it to be the most rewarding decision of their lives.
Only you can decide if parenting is the right choice for you, but one key question to consider is: Do I want to parent? If even a small part of you feels curious or desires to parent, it’s worth exploring this option more deeply.
To help with your decision, reflect on these important questions:
Do I have a heart to parent?
What might my life look like if I choose to parent?
How might I feel if I decide to parent?
How might I feel if I don’t choose to parent?
What would parenting look like while working toward my goals?
Parenting is a significant decision, but with the right resources and support, you can feel empowered to pursue parenting successfully.
