Being a good parent has nothing to do with whether you planned on getting pregnant or not. It has everything to do with the time and effort you put into caring for your child. Like your other two options - adoption or abortion - parenting can be a difficult decision to make. At Open Arms, our goal is to get as many resources into your hands as possible so you feel confident and capable.
