Parenting

Parent your child – One of your unplanned pregnancy options

If you decide to parent your child, your Amara counselor will help you prepare for parenthood so that you can start this new phase with confidence.

Your Amara pregnancy counselor can:

  • Help you envision how parenting may influence and change your daily activities, so you can plan ahead
  • Help you prepare for successful parenting, providing information and locating needed equipment, services and supplies
  • Ensure you have knowledge of or access to available long-term services appropriate to your needs
  • Help you, at your request, to communicate your situation and choice to others whose support is important to you – your partner or perhaps a sibling, a parent, or a friend
  • Be readily available both before and after the birth of your child to answer your questions, provide emotional support, and advocate for information and assistance
