THINK ABOUT WHAT is IMPORTANT TO YOU.

The following questions will help you consider what is best for you and your child and help you develop a plan for this pregnancy and the life of this child thereafter. Take some time to carefully consider these questions and maybe write down your thoughts today and again a few months from now to see if anything has changed. This may also be a great tool to use with your partner or friend in helping to make decisions that are best for you and your child.
