• Where will I live?
• Are there services in Ottawa to help me?
• What medical appointments need to be scheduled?
• What about the child’s father, my parents, my friends?
• I don’t feel able to parent, how can I contact a couple who is wanting to adopt a child?

We are here to listen, as well as assist you in finding helpful resources within your community to support you in your decision to parent. You don’t have to walk this road alone.
