For Parents
My Daughter is Pregnant…
My Son is a Father…
Where did I go wrong?
If you are facing a crisis pregnancy with one of your children, they need you now, more than ever. It’s a difficult and scary thing to tell a parent that you’ve let them down and you are pregnant, so be grateful that your daughter or son trusts you enough to include you in this process. Stay calm, don’t assign blame or condemn your child, just be a loving support that can help them through this period. Talk with them about their feelings. Help your daughter get appropriate medical care, counseling, parenting classes or adoption information. If your son is the father, help him support and love the mother.
A good first step is to accompany your daughter or son to a pregnancy resource center, where you can learn about all the options open to your son or daughter. They'll help you find answers to questions about parenting and adoption, and they'll tell you the truth about the short-term and long-term risks of abortion, information that isn't discussed by the mainstream media.
