Is Parenting An Option?
Yes, parenting is an option. At HopePlace, our client advocates can help you explore what pregnancy and parenting would look like for you. We have the resources and support you need to help you parent successfully.
Are you asking yourself some of the following questions?

- Where will I live?
- How do I tell my partner or my parents?
- What if my partner doesn’t want the baby, but I do?

All of these are valid questions. We can discuss each of these issues and help you find an answer.
