Wondering if Parenting Is the Right Path?
An unexpected pregnancy can bring many questions, and parenting may feel like a challenging option to consider. You might wonder how it could work financially, emotionally, or physically. These are real concerns, and you don’t have to sort through them on your own.
At The Haven, we offer free and confidential options consultations to help you consider your choices in a supportive, pressure-free environment.
Questions to Help You Decide
While there’s no one right answer, reflecting on specific questions can help you decide whether parenting is the best next step for you:
- What kind of help would make parenting feel possible?
- Do I have a support system I can count on?
- Will the baby’s father be involved?
- What would excite me most about becoming a parent?
- What resources would I need to feel confident in this role?
You don’t need to have everything figured out right away. Exploring your options with a client advocate can help you think through your decision from every angle.
Parenting Support and Mentoring
Parenting doesn’t mean doing it alone. The Haven offers ongoing support and educational opportunities, such as:
- Pregnancy and parenting classes through our Earn While You Learn Program.
- Fatherhood and men’s mentoring programs.
- Material aid for those participating in our programs.
- “Mother’s Keepers,” which provides practical assistance and emotional support.
- Referrals to community resources for housing, childcare, counseling, and more.
We are committed to walking with you, offering encouragement, and helping you build a strong foundation for your child’s future.
You’re Not Alone in This
