Keeping the Baby
> Raising a child is a challenge.> It involves compromise at every stage.
> It's financially demanding and could well leave you feeling permanently frazzled.
> But then it can also be hugely rewarding, and something you wouldn't change for the world.
Of course, only being a parent can reveal what it's really like, but asking lots of questions beforehand will give you some idea of how well you might cope with parenthood:
> Do you feel ready for a child, and prepared to make a lifelong commitment as a parent?
> What role will the child's father play?
> A child might make the home situation very difficult sometimes to the point of being thrown out.
> How will you support yourself and your baby?
> Where will you live?
> What kind of support network do you have?
> What are the implications for your education and/or career?
> The baby may be the result of some kind of sexual assault – how will you feel?
> Parent Responsibility
> Parenting and Childcare
