Adoption, Parenting, Pregnancy / By

If you are walking through an unplanned pregnancy, you might be feeling overwhelmed or scared. Maybe your mind is racing with thoughts like, “I’m not in a place to parent. I can’t provide for a baby right now. I can’t be a single mom.” You may still be in the process of deciding what to do and you feel unsure of the way forward.
No one plans to parent alone.
