Are You Considering Parenting Your Child?

If you’ve found out you are unexpectedly pregnant and you’re considering parenting, we want you to know it is absolutely possible. There are many resources available even if you don’t have help from family members. Our team of pregnancy counselors is available 24/7 to provide the support you need and help you obtain those resources. You may be surprised at how capable you are, after all!

Is Parenting Right For You?

A good parent isn’t determined by whether the pregnancy was planned or not. A good parent is one who loves and wants the best for their child. Wanting the best may mean parenting, or it could mean making an adoption plan. No one will say either option is easy, but both are rewarding. Unfortunately, children don’t come with an instruction manual. To determine if parenting is right for you, consider the following questions.

Do I have help from the baby’s father and/or my family?
Can I financially support a child?
Where will we live?
What should I do if other people want me to have an abortion, but I don’t want to?
Can I continue working or going to school?
What is available to help me if I choose to parent?

You probably have more questions than answers right now, and that’s okay. We’re here to help you sort through it all.

What’s Available To You

Whether it’s prenatal information or parenting classes, our caring team can direct you to counselors who can help you. There are many resources within your local community, and we will help you navigate that process too. The more knowledge you have, the better decision you can make.

Where Do You Go From Here?

No one should ever have to walk through this alone. Your pregnancy has already impacted your life, so to make a confident, empowered decision, talk about your options with someone you can trust. At Empowered Choices, we want the best possible outcome for you and your future. Connect with one of our counselors today. We’re ready and standing by.

I was a twenty-year old working a full-time and part-time job, trying to make ends meet. I didn’t know what I was doing with my life, to be honest what twenty-year old does? When I found out I was pregnant I had so many questions running through my mind: How could I support another human being? How can I be a parent when I am still raising myself? I don’t make enough money! I decided to talk to someone about all my fears.
I liked how understanding everyone was. I felt cared for and supported by the entire staff. I felt informed of all my options, and I liked hearing what others had chosen, because I’d never done this before and it helped me understand.
I considered abortion when I first found out I was pregnant. My parents were pro-life and I didn’t really want to have an abortion but I was scared, alone, and was in a bad place. I went to a pregnancy center and then started thinking other options.
The people working here are AMAZING. No words can describe how beautiful the work they do is.
When I found myself facing an unplanned pregnancy, it was a scary situation...I was nervous. Katy got into contact with me. She was absolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable. I never once felt judged, or disrespected. If I had a question or concern…Katy had an answer or resolution. Very promptly I might add…I’m just extremely grateful I had Katy by my side.
I liked that my pregnancy counselor was there for me when I felt that I couldn’t talk to many people about what was going on.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you and everyone there did for me! I am blessed God opened my eyes and showed me true love…
