I’ve Delivered.
Can I still make an adoption plan?
You may feel happy, overwhelmed, scared, uncertain, or even surprised by how differently you feel now that your baby is here.
You may be thinking, “I'm not ready to parent,” “I can't afford another baby,” or “I don't know if I can do this on my own.”
Whatever you're feeling, you deserve a safe place to talk about it without judgment.
Your Emotions Are Valid
How you are feeling in this moment is valid. Your emotions are not selfish, but rather you taking your time to ensure that the decision you make is consistent with what you this is best.
The realities of parenting may be something that you feel that you not prepared for, the timing simply isn’t right for you at this time. Some mothers may be facing raising a child alone, and do not want to be a single parent.The addition of another child may be financially out of reach at this time.
We are here to let you know that whatever you are feeling, those are your feelings and you are entitled to those. It can be hard to process your OWN emotions when family and friends are saying “I’m a single parent and it’s fine” or “it’ll be fine, he’ll just have to work a second job”. You can be proud of your friends and family for doing those things and not desire that for your own life.
