When most think of babies, it is always a joyous occasion. Couples are in awe of who they created and the wonderful opportunity to raise him or her to be a fantastic human. Although some are finding love and others are treading those waters alone as a single or co-parent.
Many in the latter group are not sure what that entity will bring for their financial stability and their ability to care for their child. So much needs to be understood about the effect this has.
When we think back, some of us planned our children and some of us were (or not) pleasantly surprised that there was a baby on the way. We plan, we dream and we prepare as much as we can about who our new baby will look like, when he or she will be born or if we will be buying pink or blue.
Pre-ultrasound and gender reveal expectant parents were just concerned that the baby would be healthy and the mother would birth the baby with no medical issues. However, the reality is, sometimes couples don’t receive that happy ending. Although the relationship or marriage that was planned may sever, the care that child(ren) needs remains real.
