Your first thought might be, “Oh no, there’s no way I could parent a child!” But, you may be surprised at all of the support and resources available to you. Take a closer look at the possibility of parenting. We provide free and confidential parenting education in Northridge, Los Angeles CA.

Is parenting right for you?

Being a good parent has nothing to do with whether you planned on getting pregnant or not. It has everything to do with the time and effort you put into caring for your child. Like your other two choices, adoption or abortion, parenting can be a difficult decision to make. At Open Arms Pregnancy Clinic, our goal is to get as many resources into your hands as possible.

As you consider parenting, are you asking yourself some of these questions?

  • What if my husband/partner doesn’t want the baby, but I do?
  • How do I tell my family? Will they give me their support?
  • How will I finish school?
  • Can I continue working?
  • Where will I live?
  • Can I afford a child?
  • Am I too young?

These are all important and valid questions. The fact that you’re thinking about them shows responsibility and courage.
