A positive pregnancy test can make you start calculating expenses you had never planned for. Diapers, a car seat, baby clothes, childcare, and medical costs may all come to mind at once.
If your budget is already stretched, abortion might seem like the only option you can afford. However, before making a pregnancy decision based on finances, it is worth finding out what resources could reduce some of those costs.
Schedule a no-cost appointment today with Care Net Las Vegas to discuss the support available to you.
Start With the Expenses That Concern You Most
You do not need to solve every financial question today.
Think about which expenses are making parenting seem out of reach. Is it housing? Childcare? Medical expenses?
Once you know what is weighing most on you, you can begin looking for programs and organizations that address those needs. Care Net Las Vegas can also provide referrals to additional community resources.
Feel Prepared With Parenting Resources
You may be wondering whether it is possible to parent when you’re struggling financially. Even if your circumstances are challenging now, that doesn’t mean they can’t change in the future. We can help you feel prepared to parent and receive material support in the process.
If you’re looking for a way to learn important skills while earning everyday items for your baby, we can help with our Earn While You Learn (EWYL) program.
As you complete parenting video lessons, you earn credits that can be used to “purchase” items at our center. Available items may include:
- Car seats
- Strollers
- Pack ‘n plays
- Highchairs
- Walkers
- Clothing
- Shoes
The program allows you to prepare for parenting while gradually adding useful items for your baby. Instead of feeling like you need to buy everything before your due date, you can begin gathering supplies throughout pregnancy.
Learn What Adoption Assistance Is Available
Finances are not the only reason you may decide that you do not wish to parent. If that is where you are, adoption is another option you can learn more about.
With adoption, you can select the adoptive family for your child and choose a plan that outlines your communication preferences and the relationship you wish to have. You will never be expected to pay for adoption services, and you may have your medical expenses covered if your insurance does not already do so.
You may also be able to receive support for material items, housing assistance, counseling, and more. Care Net Las Vegas can provide referrals to adoption agencies that can explain how the process works and answer questions about creating an adoption plan.
Learning about adoption does not require you to choose it. It simply gives you more information about an option besides parenting or abortion.
